Using a Memory Card
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.
1. Turn the POWER switch to CAMERA and the TAPE/CARD
switch to CARD.
2. Open the menu and select
a STITCH AST.
Select the direction with the CARD +/button. Press the CARD +
button to move clockwise, press the CARD button to move counter-
clockwise.
3. Set the recording program and zoom on the subject.
If necessary, set the focus and exposure manually.
After the first image, recording program, zoom, exposure and flash
mode cannot be changed.
4. Press the PHOTO button to record the first image.
Direction and number of recorded images will be shown on the display.
5. Orient the camcorder so that the second frame overlaps a
small portion of the first image and press the PHOTO button
to take the next image.
Do not worry about minor discrepancies in the overlapped area because
the computer software can compensate for them when the images are
merged.
You can retake images by pressing the CARD button to return to the
previous image.
A maximum of 26 images may be recorded.
Follow the same steps to shoot subsequent images in the sequence.
6. Finish the sequence by pressing the MENU button after the
last image has been recorded.
Refer to the DIGITAL VIDEO SOLUTION DISK Software Instruction
Manual for instructions on how to stitch them together.
