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

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