Shooting In Stitch Assist Mode - Canon PowerShot S400 Digital Elph User Manual

Shooting in Stitch Assist Mode

Stitch Assist mode can be used to shoot overlapping images that can
later be merged (stitched) to create one panoramic image on a
computer.
To merge the images on a computer, use PhotoStitch, one of
the supplied programs.
Framing a Subject
The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining
images and merges them. When shooting, try to include a distinctive
item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.
• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 - 50% of the adjoining
image. Try to keep the vertical misalignment to less than 10% of the
image height.
• Do not include moving items in the overlap.
The overlapping seams of
several adjacent images can be
joined into a single panoramic
image.
