Stitch Assist Mode

What is Stitch Assist?

The Stitch Assist mode is designed to make it easier to merge separate panoramic images into a single, seamless image using a compu- ter. You can shoot a photographic subject that won’t fit into a single frame, such as a landscape, and stitch it together later with a computer. This mode displays the previous images while you shoot the next in a horizon- tal, vertical or matrix sequence of images.
