refine the panel **tilts** out of the x-y plane, which is even less stable.
+The overall detector z-position (camera length) is usually quite strongly
+correlated with the crystal cell parameters, making it difficult to refine.
+With high-resolution data, it can be possible, however. To refine the overall
+camera length, add **--camera-length**. Without this option, the overall
+camera length will not be altered, even with **--out-of-plane**. Instead, only

**align_detector** relies on the program **pede** from the Millepede-II
package. Usually, this will be installed as part of the CrystFEL installation
procedure. If not, it can easily be installed from the Millepede-II repository
