Shooting in Stitch Assist Mode
Stitch Assist mode can be used to shoot images, which overlap, and which can later be merged to create one panoramic image on a computer.
The overlapping seams of several adjacent images can be joined into a single panoramic image.
•To merge the images on the computer, use PhotoStitch, one of the supplied 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 - 50% of the adjoining image. Try to keep the vertical misalignment to less than 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.
