6.1 Shoot more than you need
Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of your panoramas. Also, check out the creative 
ideas and advanced tips to go beyond the basics with your shots.
What you should shoot
Always take a larger panorama than you need to. Because stitched panoramas are rarely 
rectangular, you will need to crop your panorama to print it out. This could lead to a lot of 
lost information, especially at the boundaries. 
Another good idea is to set your lower-right corner so that it’s just after the point when 
the number of horizontal and vertical photos increases. For example, if the EPIC shows 
you 20 horizontal and 10 vertical images, move it lower and to the right so that it reads 21 
horizontal and 11 vertical.
