panoramic shooting

my Sony has a mode setting for this, mounted on a tripod but difficult to get camera to cooperate. Also is the black area telling me I can pan further. My Nikon D3200 does not have this capability.

You can join panorama shots together with the free ICE program from Microsoft or in many post-processing packages. In camera is nice, but not necessary...

I agree. I also use 'ICE' & am very happy with it. It is free, very easy to use, & does a good job.

The Sony camera does a really good job with panoramas.it will give you a black area if you stop shooting before it is finished.

I prefer Hugin as my pano maker. I read the fine print on ICE and felt uncomfortable with the possibilities, as remote as they may be.

Microsoft could possibly retain rights for your photo. I don't know how, but because there is the remote possibility, I chose to not use it anymore. Hugin is fast and has worked every time for me; ICE has not.

ICE is one of numerous freebee programs created by MS employees and not supported by MS. It has not been updated for eons.
The 'caveat' mentioned is a standard like everything else. Your objection is dully noted but makes no sense at all, unlike the 'rental agreement' when 'purchasing' a software or OS. Read UHH agreement... Every image you post here will stay forever as there is 'no forget' policy that I know of. Same as there is no 'quitting' UHH. Being concerned by ICE is like being concerned by bed bugs when you are locked in a lion's cage by comparison.
ICE works best with its companion HDview that also an outstanding piece of software.

I don't know about Mac OS.
Do a search (e.g. Google).
Yes, it is free.

Yes, I am aware of that, but I choose not to make my photos vulnerable to being "owned" by someone else. I know that I am not successful in doing that all of the time. I trust UHHoggers.

Getting back to the original question....I shoot various models of Sony DSLR's and mirrorless (A7). If you had panned further there would have been more image. The aspect ration of the in camera Sony panoramas is 4.7, i.e. the complete panorama should be 4.7 times wider than it is tall. Looking at the image provided it is about 2.5:1 so the complete panorama should have been as wide as the image plus the gray area. What these cameras are actually doing when they shoot panos is they are shooting video and stitching adjacent images. It is worth noting that these in camera panoramas are small files with a lot of data compression. You will get much larger files with less or no compression if you shoot RAW or your cameras largest jpgs and stitch them together with any of the above softwares. You will also find stitching software on Elements (at least from Elements 10 which I have) as well as PS6 ( or Creative Cloud).

I don't know your specific camera but I suspect that the problem is that you are panning too slowly and the camera timed out before you were finished panning.

I was thinking along those lines and that the alignment was out of tolerance when panning. On a few PS cameras there is some sort of confirmation when you are within alignment tolerance and have panned enough. May have missed one or more but then the camera may not allow the shutter to be released unless a confirmation is acquired and my theory goes in the dumpster.
Maybe it was too large and didn't process the right half?
