How can I make a panorama shot/s on my R8?

You have to be in SCN mode and select the panorama mode.

See pages 106 to 107 in the User Manual.

Another option is to perform multiple captures yourself and composite in post. This is what I do where I capture either a single row or multiple rows of images. I use a gimbal setup on my tripod to allow me to account for the nodal point (no parallax point) and to tilt the camera's position by the same increments (e.g. 5º).

Now you have my interest, Ricky. While 95% of my pano shots are all things in the distance, and I don't have to worry about the nodal point, occasionally I do have things in the foreground, and I depend on warping layers in Photoshop, which sometimes is easy to get things to align, sometimes not at all.

So if you don't mind me asking, how do you find/figure/adjust for the nodal point of any lens?

Gary, good timing. I'm going to be doing a project next month and needed to figure out the nodal point for my new camera and lens combo.
