The camera shoots two panorama modes. One is 180 degrees and the other is 360 degrees. Both use internal software to "stitch" the photos together. The 180 uses three individual frames, using a set of on-screen bull's eyes to help you align them. The 360 uses 6 frames. Stitching is pretty seamless once you get the hang of it, and what "stubble" I do find is easy to fix in Photoshop. If I get your question correct, you are looking for a single frame, optical panorama capability, which this camera does not have. hope that helps.

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

Robin S: I don't use this camera anymore. It was very hard to set up for me, and it has terrible software with it. I have some friends that have different cameras that actually work. My advise is to look at a different camera. You get what you pay for. Did I mention that it is huge and a monstrosity.

Yes. The camera has a feature that lets you choose to keep the screen on when your eyes are looking at the screen. The front camera is mediocre for Skype and awful for photos.

It is a great camera and it dose take good photos, but any cropping would have to be done in your editing software.

Yes, sort of. It pans when zoomed in. The actual camera doesn't move, but the zoomed in portion can be panned within the original area of view.

Yes. In my case I was never able get the camera working properly. Spent a couple of months at it even , purchashed Blue Iris for software control. Finely gaveup and wrote the camera off as a bad purchase. I refer you to my original reviewI wrote shortly after purchase.

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.

The manual has ALL the answers, but for "point-and-shoot", you press the "on" button and the rest falls into place. When you absolutely must have "Panorama" (for example), go to the manual: you probably won't use most of the features anyway.

To power-on and take pictures, Yes. To zoom or change to video, No. The only functions of the camera that will be available for you to use are the ones that you press a button to use. If you have to rotate/spin a dial of sorts in order to perform a function, then you're SOL.

No. That can be done easily with a free third party software like Frameshots 3.

The camera will work and record without any set up. You will however need Windows to change the settings to mph and adjust the time zone. Did this once on a pc and have been downloading and viewing files on my Macs.

Yes, this camera does a very nice job with panoramic sweep shots. I don't take panoramic pictures often, but I have been very pleased when I have. It also does a very nice job if stitching the shot together (in case your not using a tripod and your hand is shaky - it is unnoticeable). Also, I have taken family shots with the panoramic setting and notice that someone stood up and walked by...and it was nowhere to be seen in the digital picture.

Yes, it does. I have yet to try it though. I am still in the learning stages of just what all this amazing camera will do.

Yes, but remember that this camera has a slightly narrow field of view. You're not going to get a wide angle view of the surroundings. Also, be advised that viewing this image requires that a special plug-in be loaded into your browser. You can't just go up to any PC and view the image.

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).

no software. firmware built in. you can have it email when motion is detected. motion detection not foolproof. if I were to buy another camera I would probably not buy foscam
