Shooting – The Basics
The Basics
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.
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.
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 in each image
consistent. The final image will appear
unnatural if the difference in brightness is
too great.
