Whats the difference between wide angle and fish-eye VRs?

0

There are two different types of lenses you can shoot a VR panorama with; a wide angle or a fisheye. A wide-angle lens is flat and has little or no distortion and is usually 14-16mm wide. A 16mm lens would require a minimum of 8 shots around and 2 rows, or 16 photos, to obtain 360° x 360°. However a fisheye has a convex lens and can have a wider angle up to 8mm. A fisheye image is usually distorted due to its convex lens. An 8mm lens only requires 3 shots to obtain 360° x 360°. However, the more pictures that are taken, the more data or higher resolution there is in the VR. By using the correct lens for the subject matter we are able to get the best shot every time.
