  1. With the camera set to Program mode, point the camera at the scene you want to make into a widescreen panorama and take a test snap. Use the Exposure Compensation feature on the camera to make the image lighter/darker if needed.
  2. If you are happy with the look of the exposure, delete that test and take a snap of your left foot.
  3. In your mind, divide the scene very roughly into five vertical sections and start snapping (use more sections if necessary).
  4. Start at the left-hand side and take a shot, shift the viewfinder to the right, overlapping the frame by up to 20%, and take a second shot, then repeat this process until you have covered the entire width of the scene.
  5. Finally, take another picture, this time of your right foot. This should help you when it comes to finding those panorama sections from among all of those other images...
