When I do a pano I scan the angular range of the pano with the camera to find
the brightest area. I then
adjust the (fixed) exposure such that the brightest area does not have blown
highlights. I then use that exposure throughout the pano.
Chuck I think that we have disagreed about this method before. It dates
from prehistoric times:) Yes, a quick visual scan of the subject to
preclude blown highlights but why set a fixed exposure guaranteed to
give "blown" shadows in any dark areas? Just use AP Auto, -ev as needed.
I spot specific areas as I take the pano to adjust exposure on the fly.
It actually makes the blend easier. FWIW I use hugin outputting a 100%
tif. Hugin is too slow on the tablet so I use MS-ICE as the best
alternative.
(these options probably aren't available in a P'nS in PANO mode)
