Recording Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist) - Canon Elura40 Instruction Manual

Recording Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)

You can merge separate images into one large panoramic scene using the supplied
E 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.
