Recording Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)

You can merge separate images into one large panoramic scene using the supplied software (PhotoStitch) on a PC. You can shoot a subject that won’t fit into a single frame, such as a landscape, and stitch it together later.

Recording

PhotoStitch detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images and merges them. When recording, try to include a distinctive item (landmark, etc.) in the overlapping portions.

STITCH AST

( 39)

1.Turn the camcorder’s POWER switch to CAMERA, and move the camcorder’s TAPE/CARD switch to CARD.

2.Open the menu and select \ STITCH AST.

Select the direction with the CARD +/button and press the SET button. Press the CARD + button to move clockwise, press the CARD button to move anticlockwise.

3.Set the recording program and zoom on the subject.

If necessary, set the focus manually and AE shift.

After the first image, recording program, zoom, and AE shift cannot be changed.

4.Press the PHOTO button to record the first image.

Direction and number of recorded images will be shown on the display.

5.Orient the camcorder so that the second frame overlaps a small portion of the first image and press the PHOTO button to take the next image.

Do not worry about minor discrepancies in the overlapped area because the computer software can compensate for them when the images are merged.

You can retake images by pressing the CARD button to return to the previous image.

A maximum of 26 images may be recorded.

Follow the same steps to shoot subsequent images in the sequence.

6.Finish the sequence by pressing the MENU button after the last image has been recorded.
