even cameras with a optical zoom cant zoom put further then their widest angle

seeing as your cam has no optical zoom its allready zoomed out as far as it can go

You can only crop what you have, either a single picture or stitched pictures.

If your going to stitch pictures, give autostitch.net a try. It's currently a technology demo, but the output doesn't have any watermarks.

You don't really need to zoom out. Just make it so the width of your subject fits in your viewfinder...then just crop the top and bottom and you've got a 16:9 or whatever ratio pic you want...

Obviously it'll work better with a higher res camera

Look a this pic, tis even bigger than 16:9.

I got a digital camera.How i do it???

thats a pretty good stich job.

actually its pretty bad i can see ths stitch lines, i really should redo it

thsi one is much better

Camera info, plz? I've always wanted to take shots like that, but my camera's physical geometry is all off and Olympus won't give me the neccessary info on the lens to build an adapter that does anything more than center the lens over the tripod pivot (there's still rediculous parallax error)

You don't need one, but I'm a lazy mfer and generally tweaked out on caffeine. You don't want me holding a camera :p

you dont NEED a tripod,

The only time you really need a tripod and adapter is when your shooting something really close. Like this which was a 995 with fisheye and adapter.

EyeMWing, what camera do you have. The information you need is probably somewhere around on the net.

you realize that all that is doing is cropping the top and bottom for you, something you can eaisily do in photoshop or whatever later.

and yes for closeup panoramas a tripod is needed

and for "TRUE" landscape panos you want a panorama head on your tripid that rotates around the nodal point of the lens, you also want a prime lens focused at the hyperfocal distance so that basically everything is in focus
