Abstract: An illumination measuring device for panoramic picture taking has a first photoelectric illumination intensity receiver which diffusely determines light falling in a first measuring region and illuminating a first panoramic portion, at least one further photoelectric illumination intensity receiver which diffusely determines light falling in a second measuring region and illuminating a further panoramic portion, and an evaluating unit determining a deviation of an illumination intensity determined by the further illumination intensity receiver from an illumination intensity determined by the first illumination intensity receiver.

Abstract: A panoramic camera has an objective drum, an electric motor which drives the objective drum and has a motor shaft, the electric motor being arranged axis-parallel to and at a distance from the objective drum and having a regulatable speed, a plurality of outputs having different speeds and connected with the motor shaft, and a plurality of intermediate outputs connecting the outputs selectively with the objective drum.

Abstract: A panoramic camera has a camera housing having a cylinder segment provided with an image window, an objective drum which is rotatable relative to the cylinder segment about a rotary axis, the cylinder segment having segment flanks located laterally near the image window, the segment flanks being provided with light catching grooves extending parallel to the rotary axis of the objective drum and ending at an angular distance from the outer edges of the cylinder segment, covered by a curvature of the drum.
