Cannon S80 Shooting, Framing a Subject

Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images and merges them. When composing shots, 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. These items may appear warped or doubled up in the merged image.

Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the contrast in brightness is too great.

To shoot landscapes, swivel (pan) the camera around its own vertical axis.

To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it parallel to the subject as you move it.
