NOT to be confused with image overly built in editing camera option. The reason I ask is some cameras allow this option, just like some film cameras do. I'd like to take advantage of this.

Not really sure if I understand your question completely. But just for the sake that I may have, I copied this from here
You May:
use any feature of your camera while photographing your entry, with the exception of combining multiple captures in-camera.

My camera has a panorama function. I press the shutter once, and then move the camera across to the next point. The camera automatically detects where the next shot should start and takes the shot itself. It does this four times and saves the image as one file (with exif).
Is this allowed under any of the rule sets? |

| Panoramas are not allowed except maybe in expert but you'd have to check the rules and maybe ask the SC. |

Only under what's now called the Expert rule set ... otherwise, the only multiple images you can combine must depict the identical scene, except for differences in exposure or DOF designed to extend the dynamic range or focal depth beyond what can normally be captured in a single exposure, and this is only allowed in Advanced, not Basic.
But it sounds like a cool feature -- you can certainly post some examples ... I'd like to see how it compares with other methods of stitching multiple frames.
ETA: See this thread

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it's very cool - I love it. You line up the first shot and tell it which direction you're going to be moving the camera (left, right, up, or down) - which means you can also take vertical panoramas.
After you press the shutter the first time, you get a small red box to line up with for the next shot - as soon as the next shot is lined up, it automatically takes the shot, and so on for four shots. It then stitches them together and saves it as one panorama image.
It makes for some fantastic looking wide angle photos!
And believe it or not, this is on the 5mp camera in my new Samsung cameraphone, which has great quality for photo and video (considering it's not a full P&S) |

Here is an example, //www.evisionphotos.com/Photography/Landscapes-and-Cityscapes/7076452_6GsTz#609561215_N6W6F-X3-LB
I used my wallet to cover half the lens (to prevent exposure to half the frame), then rotated my camera 180 degrees, blocking the already exposed side. That is the result I got.
No different from what you get on film.

I think that should be legal.  levyj413 uses a similar technique, which has been legal in the past.
