Meanings
plural panorams
- datedinformalbroadcastingA panoramic view.
Such a panoram should be used only on distant objects. It should be executed slowly and evenly. It should always conclude, not start, with the most interesting objects within view.
1938, Popular Mechanics, volume 69, number 11 more example
For one thing, the rate at which a panoram is swung depends generally on a much slower motion of the hand controlling the turntable handle than the regulation twice a second which must always be given to the camera handle.
2000, Stephen Herbert, A History of Early Film, volume 2, page 104
