Wider and Wider

While out for our morning walk I found the panorama setting on the Canon G5X MkII so gave it a whirl. I soon found out that I needed to focus on the main part of the panorama area I was about to shoot. Then move the camera to the start position. Once the shutter button is fully pressed it rapidly keeps taking and stitching photos as the camera is moved round until the button is released. The panorama is produced almost instantly for review.

These are uncropped, as taken apart from a bit of added clarity.
Unfortunately panoramas are shot in jpg so not as amenable to tweaking as RAW photos.

  1. These are interesting, an excellent result. When I think back to the palaver it used to be stitching photos together and here it is done in camera and coping perfectly with light and shade.

    1. Adrian: It even coped with some up and down movement as the camera was hand held. It seems to take the exposure setting with the first shot or wherever I focus it to start with so I have to be careful not to start with an area which is very bright or very dark. But that said it is far better than I expected for a fully automatic process.

    2. I can see you going back to taking exposures from a grey card. It is impressive.

  2. Just realised there's a panorama button on my phone so will give this a go.
