Tips for making better panoramas

• In the settings window, make sure to check the auto focus checkbox.
  It might take longer, since it will auto focus before taking every picture, but it will help the stitching be more accurate.
  
  
• Move your phone slowly until you hear the beep. Once it takes the picture try to hold still.
  
  
• Make sure there are no moving objects, especially where the pictures overlap.
  
  
• Make sure the camera is on the same vertical level for all of the pictures you are taking.
   
  
• Try to avoid taking pictures at different lighting conditions, make sure all of the pictures are taken with the same lighting conditions and avoid taking pictures on direct sunlight.
  
  
• Your camera lens should be the rotation axis! Do not use your body as the rotation axis. Imagine as if your phone's camera is mounted on a tripod and rotate it while trying to keep the camera lens on the same point.
