What is the Stitch Function?
• Stitching is the process of merging
digital camera images so that the seams
are invisible. Expansive scenes can be
dynamically presented in their entirety.
How to Frame a Subject
The stitch function detects the overlapping
portions of adjoining images and merges
them. When shooting, try to include a
distinctive item in the overlapping portion.
•Compose each frame so that it overlaps
30% to 50% of the width of the adjoining
image. Try to keep any vertical misalignment
to within 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.
•Make the brightness as consistent as
possible. The final image will appear
unnatural if the difference in brightness is
too large.
Camera Positioning
Landscapes
To record distant landscapes, pan the camera
(tilt or swivel the camera on its own axis).
For a horizontal
series, swivel the
camera left or
right.
