Let's go over how to optimize pano mode, panoramic mode is where your phone takes a series of pictures
from left to right or right to left, and it automatically stitches them together to create a 180 degree
image of your surroundings.
This often looks far too wide and very annoying to post on social media, but there's a trick to using
it to create a really stylish, wide angle shot that looks as though you bought a special lens for your
phone.
Now, if you have one of the newer iPhones with three different lenses on it, you can simply open the
camera, go to photo mode and tap the point five button to get a wide angle.
But in case you don't have this option, here's a cool trick.
Simply open the camera swipe to slide over to panel mode.
Tap the shutter, which is the white button, and slide across your subject while keeping your phone
as level as possible, and also be sure to go slowly because your camera has to set a new exposure for
each picture it takes to make up the full panoramic image and then tap the white button again to stop
wherever you want.
If done right, you'll end up with a very GoPro Wide-angle style image that can look very professional.
This feature can also be used vertically to simply turn your phone on its side and repeat the process
to take an extra tall, wide angle photo.
Keep in mind that the closer you stand to your subject, the better this is going to look.
If the base of your subject fills the frame when you start it, it's usually going to end up looking
really nice.
I use this all the time whenever I photograph architecture.
