Feature Requests / Panorama module?
September 15, 2014, 08:02:12 PM
Hi there,

I use ML for years now, and don't want to miss the incredible features, which make the life better and easier. Intervalometer, Dual-Iso, RawVideo and Focus Peaking in Liveview... they are huge enhancements for the main camera.

I am now interested in panorama photography, and I am wondering, if "we" can use two features together, to get Panoramas done more easily. I am thinking (and I can't find a similar request, which gives me some doubts... If it was already posted, sorry) about ghost image function.

The Module has to define some parameters:
- panorama mode (line, multi-row)
- Suboption: line - left to right, right to left
- Suboption multi-row: L->R | R->L,  Up->Down | Down -> Up, Zig zag
- Overlap: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2

I start the panorama, shoot the first frame, and the camera load and display the last image as ghost image with overlap. The easiest example is single-line-panorama left to right, i select 1/3 overlap and I got the right 1/3 part of the last image on the left part of the live view screen as ghost, so I can move the new image selection to the right and take the next shot. And again the last shot is the new ghost.
On multi-row we have to have a new switch for "line feed" also, I notice now. After line-feed the function need to paint 2 ghosts, the first pic after line-feed only the lower (or upper, see option) 1/3 of the first pic, after this pic, it should show the second pic of the first line and the right part of the second line first pic. Hmm, maybe a little bit weird - but it only should help to keep the track of the height and width to get all pics done without thinking to much. ;)
This would help a lot to keep track of the current part of a really huge panorama. I often move a little bit to fast, so the overlap is to tiny for automatic stitch programs, i have to fiddle a bit to make that work.
Hmm, if I select multiple exposure (for HDR), this maybe should track only the first pic of every series.

Is this possible to paint only a part of the whole picture as ghost?

Best regards,
  David.
