iPhone Panorama taken on iPhone 4S

What's amazing about this particular implementation of Panorama functionality is the ease of use and speed. It's really really ease to use and amazingly fast, almost instant. Once again, a good example of how Apple waits to implement a feature but gets it right.
 
Rather than staying static, would turning around a fix object (i suppose reverse clockwork for a left-right panorama) give any result? 😀
 
What happens/does it work once the phone is in landscape?
It could give fun result if was possible, for example, being at the bottom of a tower, to start directing at one end of the street bording it, then turn up to the top of the tower, then down to the other end of the street 😱

Possible to make a rotation around an horizontal axis, or are allowed only horizontal panoramas with rotation around the z-axis?

Good questions! So I gave it a try.

Holding the phone in landscape doesn't cause the slider to move, so the resulting image is a tall picture that went from eye-level up to the ceiling and then down a little bit behind me. I found it tricky to keep an eye on the guide arrow without hurting my neck while I was doing it though.

Rotating around the horizontal with the phone in landscape created a really weird shot of part of the room with my legs, combined with a slightly higher angle that included the ceiling and wall behind me and the top of my head. Almost as if a chunk was bitten out of a 360º fisheye. It was also hard to hold on to the phone while rotating it I needed both hands for stability and to keep it slow, but jostled the phone a bit when i moved-my fingers out of the way of the camera - a mechanical rotation might create something smoother.

Last but not least, I also managed a panoramic self-portrait by rotating the phone horizontally in portrait mode. Which was also much easier to manipulate.

The third to the right panel has messed up lighting, but I'm guessing that's the Sun's fault. The software should correct for it more.

Photobucket pulled it down to 100kb though.

Will try this next time I'm at Anfield 😀

Dude, use Dropbox 🙂
 
Took this one a few days ago, looks amazing but really not excited for how overplayed it will get in no time. This photo is at maybe 180 degrees, the original it was much wider than this one, I believe Apple states 280 degrees?

At first i thougt Panorama was a neat idea, but how wrong i was


Not really... As they say, "theres an app for that"

Check out the App Store, if you din't know you can do the same thing.

Without know, or even using these apps, i would guess, these would all be the same "stichting" capability that the iPhone 5 offers..... (and that includes Samsung too). Although, its nice to have it bult-in to the phone.
