Yes but!
The pundits say one should use the same exposure setting for each
individual projection of a complete panorama. Yes, but why? They
say to make it easier for software to even out the apparent exposure
throughout the finished panorama. Yes, but not in my limited
experience it don't. Not from bright sunshine to deep shadow. Left
to its own devices in auto mode, the camera does most of the work
for the software before merger.
Incidentally, I have an Olympus digital camera which in panorama
mode takes the first image with automatic exposure then locks this
setting for all the rest of the images. The otherwise reasonably
good Olympus Camedia software can't handle big differences in
brightness between images.
What's wrong with my logic? If I'm right then the experts are wrong
and I find this hard to believe.
Mark.
