  1. Pertaining to or of the nature of a panorama.
  2. Panoramic camera a photographic camera especially devised for the taking of panoramic views. The camera is caused to rotate by clockwork, or otherwise, the plate being at the same time automatically moved so that, as the lens is turned toward successive parts of the landscape, fresh parts of the plate are constantly exposed through an aperture in a mask in the camera, until, if desired, a complete revolution has been accomplished. A picture made with this apparatus differs from an ordinary picture in that it is not a simple view, such as is seen at a glance in nature, but such a view as would appear to the eye could it be directed on all sides simultaneously. Also called pantoscope, or pantoscopic camera.
  3. Panoramic lens a wide-angled rectilinear lens; a lens capable of projecting views which include 90° or more of angular extent.
