‌Identical Lens FOV Weight

You might wish to keep the two camera fields of view close to one another. The Identical Lens Weight spinner on the Lens Panel allows you to do that. As with the constraint weights, 60 is the nominal value, with a range from 0 to 120.

Note that truly identical camera lenses are very unlikely, even if you have done some preprocessing. It is probably best to stay with a moderate weight.

If you want truly identical fields of view, you should solve with a identical-FOV weight first, then average the two values and set that value as the known FOV for each camera.

SynthEyes notices even a very small identical-FOV weight and uses it to help produce a more reliable initial solution, so this may sometimes be a good idea even if the values are not necessarily identical.
