an evening sky or night scene. The people are illuminated with light 
from the flash while the backdrop is captured at a slow shutter speed 
so that both appear correctly exposed.

to .
Shooting procedures are 
the same as for the   
mode (p. 53).
z Always use a tripod to prevent camera shake in this mode.
z See page 202 for settings that can be changed in this mode.

 Shooting Panoramic Images (Stitch Assist)
Use this mode to shoot a series of overlapping frames for merging 
(stitching) into a large panoramic image using a computer.
Framing a Subject
PhotoStitch detects the overlapping portions of adjoining images 
and merges them. When composing shots, try to include a 
distinctive item (landmark, etc.) in the overlapping portions.
zPlease use the bundled PhotoStitch program to merge the 
images on a computer.

Shooting
Images can be shot in the following 5 sequences in Stitch Assist mode.
zCompose each frame so that it overlaps 30 to 50% of the 
adjoining image.
Try to keep the vertical misalignment to within 10% of the image 
height.
z Do not include moving items in the overlap.
z Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close 
subjects. Objects may appear warped or doubled up.
z Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image 
will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great.
z For good results, pan (swivel) the camera to take successive 
shots.
z To shoot close-ups, slide the camera over the subject, keeping it 
parallel as you move.
