When shooting, try to include a distinctive item in the overlapping portion. • Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30% to 50% of the width of the adjoining image.

What is the Stitch Function?
• Stitching is the process of merging
digital camera images so that the seams
are invisible. Expansive scenes can be
dynamically presented in their entirety.
How to Frame a Subject
The stitch function detects the overlapping
portions of adjoining images and merges
them. When shooting, try to include a
distinctive item in the overlapping portion.
• Compose each frame so that it overlaps
30% to 50% of the width of the adjoining
image. Try to keep any vertical misalignment
to within 10% of the image height.
• Do not include moving items in the overlap.
• Do not try to stitch images that include both
distant and close items. Objects may appear
warped or doubled up.
• Make the brightness as consistent as
possible. The final image will appear
unnatural if the difference in brightness is
too large.
Camera Positioning
Landscapes
