I have a panasonic lumix DMC FZ 45 and I cannot figure out how to take panoramic pictures. When I take pictures of the room or view it just keeps saying next, retake and exit. Can you help please?
Hi. In Scene>panorama assist, a grid is shown on screen and things get confusing!
1. The initial choice needs to be made between
left >right (for a sequence of shots made while 'panning' towards the right)
right >left.
down >up.
up >down.
e.g. if 'left >right' is selected:-
2. After the first shot has been taken, a preview is displayed without the grid.
- the 1st shot can be cancelled with 'retake', or saved for the sequence with 'next'.
3. If 'next' was selected a 'ghost', of what was in the right hand panel of the 1st image, will be shown on the left as an overlay in the LCD display, together with the grid.
The camera can now be panned to the right to try to align the ghost of the right part of the 1st shot with the left side of the new view. The 2nd shot can now be taken,
The combined image is shown, without the grid, which may or may not show good alignment of the 1st and 2nd images - so you can choose to 'retake' the 2nd image, or choose 'next' again.
If you choose 'next', it's back to no.3, above
....and so on until you choose exit, when the sequence can be transfered to PC for stitching with an image editing program.
Hope that helps!
