Stitch Assist Mode

to combine into a panorama. To create the pan-
orama itself, you must stitch the images together
on your computer.
There are two stitch assist modes based on the
shooting direction as shown in the following.

To create the panorama at your computer,
use the Photostitch software that came with
your camera.
Framing a Subject
The PhotoStitch program detects the overlap-
ping portions of adjoining images and merges
them. When shooting, try to include a distinc-
tive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.
• 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.
• 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.
