Shooting Panoramic Images
(Stitch Assist)
Stitch Assist can be used to shoot
overlapping images that can later be merged
(stitched) to create one panoramic image on
a computer.
Mode Dial
To merge the images on a computer, use
PhotoStitch, one of the supplied software
programs.
Framing a Subject
The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping
portions of adjoining images and merges them.
When shooting, try to include a distinctive item
(landmark) in the overlapping portions.
z 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.
z Do not include moving items in the
overlap.
z Do not try to stitch images that include
both distant and close items. Objects
may appear warped or doubled up.
z Make the brightness in each image
consistent. The final image will appear
unnatural if the difference in brightness
is too great.
