Loading Images with PhotoStitch
PhotoStitch is a program for merging images into panoramas. Images can be merged
horizontally, vertically, in matrices or in 360-degree strips. It is easy to shoot images for
merging using the PowerShot A50’s Stitch Assist mode. The following procedures explain
how to load and merge images shot in Stitch Assist mode.
1. Attach the camera to the computer (p. 9).
2. Turn the camera’s Mode Dial to the [PC]
position.
3. Start PhotoStitch Camera Direct.
• Click the Windows [Start] menu and select
[Programs], [PowerShot Utilities PhotoStitch] and
[PhotoStitch Camera Direct 2.3].
• To merge images already residing on your computer,
select [PhotoStitch 2.3] instead of PhotoStitch
Camera Direct.
4. A dialog will ask if you wish to view the Using PhotoStitch guide.
Click the [Yes] button to view it or the [No] button to proceed directly to the program.
5. Confirm or select the correct camera model and
communication settings (communications port
and baud rate).
• Click the [Select Camera Model] button to display the
Camera Model dialog. Confirm that [PowerShot A50]
is highlighted in the list box. If it is not, select it.
• Click the [Communication Settings] button to display
the Communication Settings dialog. Select the COM
port to which the interface cable is connected. If you are not sure,
click the [Detect] button. Select the [115.2K] baud rate (transmission
speed) unless you have trouble establishing a connection. If you have
trouble, try progressively slower speeds.
6. Select [Connect to Camera] and click the [OK]
button.
• If you are loading images from a CF card in a PC card
slot, select the [Connect to Computer] option instead (p. 9).
