1.  Saving in the QuickTime VR format

The merged image can be saved in the QuickTime VR format if you install 
QuickTime 3 or later.The latest version of QuickTime can be downloaded 
from the Apple Computer, Inc., web site.

http://www.apple.com/quicktime

NOTE: Please select the package that includes all the files when installing 
the QuickTime software. The QuickTime VR program and the program for saving 
QuickTime format files must be installed together to save images in the 
QuickTime VR format.

============

2.  Problem Displaying QuickTime VR Format Images after QuickTime is
    Uninstalled

Merged image files can still be saved in QuickTime VR format even after
QuickTime has been uninstalled because one portion of the QuickTime program 
is not removed by the uninstall procedure. However, an error message
will appear when an attempt is made to view the saved files because the
required viewing software, MoviePlayer, has been removed in the uninstall
procedure. Reinstall QuickTime to view files saved in the QuickTime VR
format.

============

3.  Solution to Printing Issue with the Canon Digital Printer CD-200

A portion of the image may be lost when printing from Viewer or 360Viewer
to a Canon Digital Printer CD-200. To work around this, click the [File]
menu in either program, select [Options], and increase or reduce the
printing resolution by a number ranging from 1 to 20 dpi before printing.

============

4.  Recommendation for Displaying and Processing Large Images with the
    Viewer and 360Viewer Programs

It may take some time for the Viewer or 360Viewer program to start when you
attempt to display a large image from the PhotoStitch Launcher or
PhotoStitch program. The printing dialog may also take some time to appear
and it may operate extremely slowly when you attempt to print a large image
from the Viewer or 360Viewer program. This problem will be more pronounced
on systems with relatively few memory resources. You are recommended to view
or print large images on a system with ample memory resources.

============

5.  Merging Images Shot with a Tele-converter or Wide converter Lens

Images shot with a tele-converter or wide converter lens on the camera cannot 
be merged correctly in PhotoStitch. Please avoid the use of these lens to 
shoot images that you wish to merge with PhotoStitch.


============

6.  Windows XP and the Fast User Switching Feature

This program has been confirmed to run with Windows XP, but does not support 
the Fast User Switching feature in Windows XP. If you use the Fast User Switching 
feature while using this program, it may not operate correctly. To avoid problems, 
you are recommended to close this program before using Fast User Switching.


============

7.  Cannot synthesize image under focus distance of 20mm (in terms of
    35mm film)

Images under focus distance of 20mm (in 35mm film parlance) cannot be synthesized 
in this software. Shoot with focus distance of over 20mm.


============
8.  Cannot invoke help file

If the help file cannot be invoked, pleae install Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1a or 
higher. You can get the latest version of Internet Explorer from Microsoft web site.
