Panoramic photos with a digital camera

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

I have a Sony DSC-P41 digital camera. Just recently, a relative
stopped by and showed me some panoramic (widescreen) photos she snapped with
a standard film camera. That got me wondering whether my camera could do
that. I checked Sony's tech support website, and found this info:

<<The digital still camera is not capable of producing a panoramic image or
photo.
NOTE: Third-party hardware and software solution are available to create
panoramic scenes.>>

Any idea which software programs they're referring to?

A panoramic photo is made from a standard camera simply by selecting out a strip across the middle of the negative, and
printing it on a wide photo paper. You can do the equivalent with an imge file from a digital camera, with most image
editing programs. Even better, uou can take a series of duigital photos across a scene, then join them into a single file.
Several image editing programs allow you to do that. Olympus cameras come with a program on the memory card to facilitate
the process. I never use it; I prefer to do it with Paint Shop Pro, my favorite image editor.

Some cameras such as various Kodak models, come with a scale and stitch
together function that allows you to build a panoramic picture. My Olympus
has the function built into the camera, which I've never used.

Panoramic pictures are made by taking a series of pictures and then
stitching them with software into a wide strip of 2 or more images.

This is maybe the easiest to use.

True as far as it goes. The panoramic function on my Oly locks the settings
between the exposures that make up the panorama. This simplifies the stitch
to gether software function.

The Panoramic function in Olympus digital cameras only works with the
Olympus Media cards. and the Olympus supplied Camedia software.

The other programs do not require the Olympus Media card, You lock the
exposure on the first frame of the Panorama and overlap each frame about 10
percent.

The other Panorama programs will work with just about any camera or media.

Oly did something that I consider fairly "Un-Nice". It seems that they want
t sell you the "extra" software ability to stitch together ordinary shots
taken in non panoramic modes. I hate crippled software. Since the price of
the software is not a significant part of the more expensive cameras, I
would suggest that it be included with the camera.

I would hope so for the asking price!
My old Canon S750 printer included a somewhat clumsy to use "stitcher" that
works.
