Recording Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)
You can merge separate images into one large panoramic scene using the
supplied 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.

switch to CARD.

a
