Shooting Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist) (continued)

z Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 to 50% of the adjoining image.

Try to keep the vertical misalignment to within 10% of the image height.

z Do not include moving items in the overlap.

z Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close subjects. Objects may appear warped or doubled up.

z Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great. z For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to take successive

shots.

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