iPod Touch 5g Panorama: Unusually Dark?

Rossta76 · Oct 30, 2012, 01:17 AM

Hi all,
I shot my first panorama pic indoors tonight with typical indoor lighting. When I switch to panorama mode the exposure level goes very dark, almost purpleish. Is this normal? Seems like it goes from normal to dark as soon as I enter panorama mode. Thanks.

I've noticed the same thing with my panoramas. I think the camera normally adjusts exposure and focus to get the best single image, but when you're taking a panorama, doing so would make various parts of the image look inconsistant.

Try locking AE/AF before starting the panorama. To do this hold down on a well lit part of the picture, until the blue square "pulsates" and then let go. It should say AE/AF lock on the bottom. That'll make sure it keeps those exposure settings and all that fun stuff.

exact same problem, the switch to panorama mode causes the camera to go extremely dark, even with the same exact frame. The camera works perfectly when not in panorama mode
