Creative photography

Recently purchased Panasonic DMC-FZ5 camera - which I discovered does not support panorama pictures. However, the software does come with a panorama stich utility.
Any suggestions on how I could use the camera for panorama scenes (multiple shots with some overlap) and create a panorama image using the supplied software?

Hi there Joeh!

It's a piece of cake! How-to's on how to set up the shots are described here http://www.digicamhelp.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=create;action=display;num=1108164783 and here http://www.digicamhelp.com/taking-panorama-photos-with-a-digital-camera/ .

Panoramas are a wonderful way to capture the expansiveness of a scene. Don't forget, be creative. Don't limit yourself to horizontal pans. Verticals can be quite stunning too.
