@youmasontube Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by, "set up a panorama". Are you referring to stitching the images together on the computer or how to align the image so they stitch well on the computer? As the description of the video suggests, the intent is to show 450D users how to set up their camera for a pano shot. Towards the end of the video I do suggest to overlap the shots by 50% and to make sure you expose for a balanced photo. Feel free to ask anything else you want to know.
@Skyggethetrue@Skyggethetrue, The only free stitching software I've used is PhotoStitch from Canon. It's not bad and you can find it by going to download (.) com and searching for "Stitching", then filter the results by selecting Free on the left. There are a few other apps there that got better reviews so you may want to check those out as well. I hope that helps. Best of luck to you.
I wouldn't recommend using continuous shooting because it's too fast. You won't be able to align the pictures as well. You also want to have about 50% of the picture overlapping the previous shot and with the continuous shooting mode you'll probably be closer to 90% overlap and end up with a lot of pictures you can't use when stitching. Stitching softwares don't like too much overlap. I hope that helps.
thnx for ur videos....i was wondering if u use a tripod to take the panoramic pics is it a good idea to use the grid on the live view to rougly guess where we gonna stitch?
I'll only use a tripod if the shutter speed is too slow, like at night. I don't use a tripod to help align the pictures. I also don't like using the Live View mode because it can create more image noise in the picture because it heats the CCD. So I just look through the view finder and estimate about 50% overlap and it's worked out great so far.
For all my panoramas, I've never used anything other than evaluative metering. Although, it doesn't really matter which setting you use as long as that first meter reading is properly exposing what's important to you. I just find that it's easiest with the evaluative setting.
Waist of time, doesn't tell us how to set up a panorama. Just spent 5 minutes explaining how to keep the settings the same.

Any advice concerning free softwares? I tried Hugin but it's quite difficult to handle (I suck at post-processing).
Thanks !
