I recently bought a Nikon D5200 and I was wondering how to shoot in panorama mode. I seem to find every other mode but panorama. Do I just need to pan the camera and take multiple pictures and stitch them together later? Or does the camera have a panorama mode built in?
Answer
The D5200 does not have a panorama mode built in. You will need to take multiple shots and stitch them in software like Photoshop or Hugin.
When you take your shots, do not simply stand still and twist at the waist. This will result in distorted panoramas. Instead, you need to imagine that the end of the lens is attached to a pole in the ground, and pivot around that. Here, have a diagram:
You can get special tripod heads that set the camera back so that the pivot point sits correctly at the front of the lens. Or you can do it more approximately by hand, using your tripod as a guide and keeping the lens over its central point.
