Twin and camera distance

This crystal was twining. The program XPREP showed the | E^2-1 | value was very lower than the resonable range as follows...

The axes of a and b were also equal in length. The refinemet was done according to the Chapter 6.7 of the SHELX-97 manual: add two instruction cards 
  TWIN 0 1 0  1 0 0  0 0 -1
  BASF 0.5
We could not find any sign of twining CCD images during data collection.
cis,cis-Ceratospogaide has the long c-axis 53 A, and this axis could be trouble for data collection. In this case, spot separation was fine at 60 mm camera distance like as this. A 80 mm-camera distance was also attemped, but there was no drastic change like as this.
