A panorama is a photo that is
much wider (or taller) than a normal photograph. Whether you want to capture
mountain vistas, lofty monuments, or a picture of the whole family, HP
cameras make it easy to take breathtaking panoramic photos. Add an HP
photo printer and HP panorama-sized photo paper to the mix, and you’ll
have professional-looking panoramic prints in minutes. |

Remember cutting half of your family from
the last reunion photo because they just didn’t fit into the frame?
Or maybe you have been forced to decide between the mountains on the
right and the sunset on the left because including both wasn’t
an option.
Here are some photo opportunities that are ideal for panoramas:
- Nature and landscapes: from mountain ranges to
redwood trees
- Cityscapes and architecture: from city skylines
to skyscrapers
- Group portraits and events: from stadium sports
and festivals to reunions and weddings. (Pair your HP camera with
a portable HP photo printer, and you can print your pictures on the
spot!)

Panoramic photography works by stitching a series of regular-size images together. If you've already taken some pictures
that you'd like to make into a panorama, you can do it with image-editing software such as
HP Photosmart Premier.
But HP digital cameras offer an easier solution: in-camera panorama preview and stitching.

In-camera panorama stitching and preview |

Several HP digital cameras are the first to offer in-camera panorama stitching-a feature that fuses up to five
single shots together to create one seamless image-right in your camera. You don't need software to stitch your image
together. You just connect your camera or memory card directly to a printer-no PC needed!

Tips for taking panoramas |
|
|
 |
|
It’s easy to capture panoramas with
your HP camera. The in-camera guide leads you through the process of
fusing individual photos onto one. Transparent photo overlays ensure
that the pictures line up perfectly.
Here are some general tips to help you get the best results possible:
- Make sure your camera is as level as possible.
- Stand in the same position for all the shots you take.
Overlap your images by 30-50% horizontally. (The HP camera will guide
you through this process.)
