50 5. Useful Shooting Functions
Shooting Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)
Use this mode to shoot a series of overlapping
frames for merging (stitching) into a large
panoramic image using a computer.
Please use the bundled PhotoStitch program
to merge the images on a computer.
Framing a Subject
PhotoStitch detects the overlapping portions of
adjoining images and merges them. When
composing shots, try to include a distinctive item
(landmark, etc.) in the overlapping portions.
Š Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 to
50% of the adjoining image. Try to keep the
vertical misalignment to within 10% of the
image height.
Š Do not include moving items in the overlap.
Š Do not try to stitch images that include both
distant and close subjects. Objects may
appear warped or doubled up.
Š Make the brightness in each image consistent.
The final image will appear unnatural if the
difference in brightness is too great.
Š For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to
take successive shots.
