Default G3 Photofield question

I have made a panoramic image of our field from 15 images I have overlapped and stitched.

The image looks great in the photo editing software but when I import it into G3 the resolution looks all wrong as
the objects in the image are all too close and distorted. I have tried varying my focal length, horizon and image size along with a few other parameter and the results are almost always the same.

Anyone else know how to correct this?

Thanks.

Basically G3 is expecting an equirectangular image (360 x 180 degree field of view) and ideally 8192 pixels by 4096 pixels.

Here is a guide to G3 panoramic images ...

Thanks nemo,

I have been to those links and have yet to find an explaination for ho to achieve the 360 x 180 numbers.

Is that a setup in the camera or in the editing software?

You don’t necessarily need all of the hardware & software mentioned but this gives you a general idea of the work flow …
