Best way to take a panorama?

I do it both manually and using the automatic feature. In either case, it is important to keep the camera at the same height and pivot gradually. Especially when using the automatic feature, the best way to shoot is landscape. I have played with vertical panorama as well. What you want to do is experiment with the feature in every way imaginable and see what happens. This is how you become familiar with the camera's capacity and limitations - and what tricks you may be able to employ to accomplish what you want. Taking pictures of properties on corners is still difficult, but I am working on it.

Yeah. You are spot on!! :)This is a perfect camera for that choice. it has a good sensor with excellent image quality. It is really very good. Only thing is that the panorama stitching of photos has to be done on computer using the software provided.Except that it has lots of controls which you can play with.

I don't often use auto mode but have never had any problems with image quality when I have. Took it to Dubai a couple of years ago and did a series of images (in auto mode) for a panorama. Stitched them and made a 39" X 9" panoramic print from the images that came out great.

Yes it can. Very easy way to take panorama almost the same as iPhone camera. There are many other great functions. I highly recommend.

FYI, another option is the free download Windows Live Photo Gallery. You just select the photos you want to stitch together and then go to "Make -> Create panoramic photo" and it does all the work for you. Once it's done you will probably want to crop out a nice rectangle since you end up with some funny looking edges, but the end result is incredible.Here's a link to the photos I just created using this utility if you want to see the result:http://picasaweb.google.com/kbgriffis/Yellowstone?authkey=Gv1sRgCLD1tamF7YiqvAE#

This camera is easy to use, but offers a lot of options, so it just appears difficult. It is not a compact camera! If you get it, get Eneloop batteries...they are the BEST! My camera takes some amazing shots...when it doesn't it is because of me. The optional view finder is why I bought the camera...with the screen is not always easy to really see what I am looking at!

The answer is effectively no. The camera will not automatically stitch panoramas. It does have a panorama shooting mode, but it saves the images individually and requires that you stitch them together with the bundled software on a computer. You cannot edit or adjust these images at all before stitching. I found the process frustrating. I do take panoramas with this camera, but use a third party program (Hugin) or iPad app (Panorama) and do not use the camera's panorama mode (since I prefer to have finer control over exposure and white balance).

Wide angle attachments will distort photos anyway. I'd suggest using the panorama feature (definitely use a tripod!)

You can use a simple adapter from ebay. Make sure it's the correct flange distance. They're usually off by 0.25mm. It's better if it's shorter than if it's longer, because the focus ring moves the entire set of lens elements further forward. For panorama photography on Micro 4/3 you can complete a sphere in 4 shots while filling up most of the sensor.

Hi, Chris.Not sure since I only did it a couple times with my A2000is. You WILL have to load the program disk into your computer, that much I remember. Also, that program has to be loaded in order to play back any videos you might make. If you have the instructions, time to put on a pot of coffee and crack that book! :-) If you don't have them they are available at Canon's website. I research new stuff by reading its manual at the company site. Oh, yeah. The program allows you to stitch the separate pictures to make the panorama shot.

It has a panoramic button. You just move the camera as you are taking the picture. I never used it, but want to this summer. Hope this helps.

Yes, this camera panarama function is like the iphone , one continuous shot. Worked very well at the Grand Canyon for me.

I don't think so. You need to buy addition and special lens to take the panoramic pictures. Or, using the special photo editing software.

You can take up to three pictures, either left to right or right to left. After taking the first (say left hand) picture, the edge of this picture (perhaps 10% of the total width) appears at the left edge of the viewfinder. You then line up the image for the second picture with the edge of the first and take the picture. The process is repeated for the third picture. The camera then stitches the three pictures into one. Usually hard to see the joins - very impressive!

No, it does not. You can make it work though, focus, shoot and carefully move to the next shot, then the next. Our graphic artists in house have a program to piece it into a panoramic photo.

You take several photos, making sure that they overlap. Try to keep the camera in the same position for each, moving your body rather than the camera. The disc that comes with camera has software to make panoramas with those overlapping photos. The program works very well, I have used it often.

This camera does not take the Panorama photos.however, it does come with the Photostitch software on the disc. If you want to take Panoramic photos with this camera you can take overlapping shots of the scene and then the photostitch software will create the panoramic photo for you. The difference is that the Panoramic mode on some other Canon cameras shows you the previous photo while you overlap the next one which makes it easier to overlap properly. With this camera you'll have to do more guess work and align your shots really well for creating panoramic pictures.
