cp p50 has a clever one. first you decide into which of the four directions. then the overlay. fixed settings: once you have set flash, selftimer(important if you have no cable),focus and exposure corection it will stay until panorama is finished.
i am using panorama-setting for difficult single shots. but: zoom cannot be changed. these restriction will certainly not affect canon-cameras with chdk.
clever would be to have a snap-in-solution, maybe with changing patterns. when you turn the camera(with or without tripod) changing pattern will show you at what position to shoot. or: simple solution. when snapped-in the pattern disappeares or vice-versa. pattern flashes only when right position is reached. maybe it must be more clever since the camera must be levelled.
we need: bubble-level inside camera-or color-lights or arrows. but we need four-direction-levelling.
i forgot bubble-level when shooting my 3dstereo-aeropanorama-180 degr. at 1:4-ratio a lot had to be cropped to show a pleasing sphinx(observatory) at jungfraujoch-switzerland-bernese alps. orignal is razorsharp. huge 3d-stereo-poster-both-side printing in development.
