How to Make Panoramic Photo with Samsung Galaxy Note

This is actually a simple trick. Samsung Galaxy Note has a built-in feature in the camera application that enables it users to take 180° Panoramic picture. Panoramic photo, for those not familiar with the term, is a technique of photography that pretty much glued several photos into a single continuous photo of your surrounding. See below for example.



To activate the Panoramic picture, all you need to do is follow these simple steps:
1. Open Camera Application
2. Touch Setting icon on the screen to open setting options.
3. By default, the camera is set to Single Shot Shooting Mode. Touch the Single Shot and another menu pop out. Choose Panoramic.



4. Align your camera to the edge of the target and touch the Capture button/icon on the screen. You will take 8 photos and Samsung Galaxy Note will combined the 8 photos, or we usually called it frames, and produce 1 very long photo with 180° scenery of what is in front of you. Remember the camera move or pan from left to right whrn starting the Panoramic Mode, so always starts at left most scene you want to capture.

Have fun.
