Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of adjoining

images and merges them. When composing shots, try to include a

distinctive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.

Shooting

Images can be shot in five sequences in Stitch Assist mode.

Left to right horizontally

Right to left horizontally

Vertically, bottom to top

Vertically, top to bottom

Clockwise starting at the top left



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.



Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close items.

These items may appear warped or doubled up in the merged image.



Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image will

appear unnatural if the contrast in brightness is too great.



To shoot landscapes, swivel (pan) the camera around its own

vertical axis.



To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it

parallel to the subject as you move it.

z You cannot display the images on a TV when shooting in Stitch

Assist mode.

z The settings for the first image are used to take subsequent images

in the sequence.
