The presence of panoramic photos is not without reason, in
addition to very ideal to capture the beautiful natural scenery, panoramic
photos can also - in some cases - save additional information from a precious
moment caught on camera.
Almost all smartphones at this moment can take pictures with
panorama mode. Unfortunately, the method of stitching (combining multiple
images into one) is not effective when there are moving objects. For that, we
need a solution that can generate panoramic images in a snap. Furthermore, panoramic
selfie seems impossible to do using a smartphone.
Fortunately the solution is already there, the name is
Panono. It is a ball with a diameter of 11 cm and weighs 440 grams, which comes
from Germany. This ball can create 360-degree panoramic photos, so you don't
even need to bother about framing.
The entire body of Panono has been embedded with 36 camera
modules. All cameras are combined so the Panono can produce 360 degrees images
with a total resolution of 108 megapixel. As a comparison, the Canon EOS 5DS
and 5DS R which are currently claimed as the highest resolution DSLR are
capable of shooting images of only 50.6 megapixel.
Using Panono is very easy, you just need to throw the ball
to the air, and when it is at its highest point, panoramic images will be
captured automatically. In addition, you can also take pictures manually by
pressing the button, or place it on a monopod, then take pictures via a
companion app on Android or iOS.
Through the companion app, you will enjoy 360-degree
photographs taken by Panono. Of course, sharing feature is also embedded into
the application, especially considering Panono allows you to take panoramic
selfie.
Panono can store up to 400 panoramic photos. When its
storage is full, you can move it all via USB or Wi-Fi into smartphone, and then
upload them to Panono Cloud. Thus, the panoramic photographs can be enjoyed
wherever there is an internet connection and a web browser.
If you are interested, you can
pre-order it directly through the official website of Panono (panono.com).
There are two colors offered, green or black, and each is priced at $ 599.
