NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PANORAMIC
FORMAT PICTURES
• When developing the film, if you have taken only
panoramic format pictures on the film, tell the
clerk at the processing lab to develop the film
with only the panoramic format. If there are both
panoramic and standard format photographs on
the film, ask the clerk to develop the film with
both standard and panoramic format.
• On the DATE model, the date and time will not
appear on the panoramic format pictures.
• The development of panoramic format pictures is
a more time-consuming and expensive process
than for standard pictures.
Please consult the processing lab for more de-
tails. _.
• Panoramic format processing facilities differ de¬
pending on the area and requirements. Your local
film processor or camera dealers will advise you
on all the options available to you.
• With panoramic format pictures, only the middle
area of the frame is exposed. The number of ex¬
posures available in the panoramic format is
equivalent to that of the standard size.
• When the panoramic format picture is printed
with a standard size format, the black areas may
appear on the top and bottom of the picture.
• When taking panoramic format pictures at a dis¬
tance closer than 1m, keep in mind that as when
taking standard pictures the picture area will shift
slightly downwards. Make sure to compose the
scene within the panoramic format close distance
compensation frame.
