- Well, I usually have my camera with me
almost everywhere I go,
and I admit it's usually set
in aperture priority.
That's just the way I like to do it
because I feel like I can
miss less shots that way.
Shooting panoramas, that's a real no-no.
We need to use manual settings
in a camera anytime possible,
so if I go to my camera,
I'll always use manual mode for my exposure settings.
That means that I can set my aperture
and shutter speed so they will not change
throughout the panoramic shooting process.
If any of the settings were changed by the camera
then the blending later on can be really difficult.
In addition to the shutter speed and aperture,
I set my ISO to not automatic
and set it as low as possible,
and also set to manual focus.
So I realize that sounds a bit counter-intuitive
to use the same exposure settings
regardless of what's filling your frame.
However, that's really important
for the stitching process
and if we do find ourselves
in a high dynamic range situation,
we do have tools for that
and we're going to be solving
that problem later in this course.
