Claim One:
1. A digital camera system comprising: a lens; an image sensor for sensing an image viewed by the lens; a display for displaying the image sensed by the image sensor; a storage device for storing the image sensed by the image sensor; processing circuitry coupled to the display, lens, image sensor, and storage device; and a processing algorithm that runs on the processing circuitry that: provides a user interface for selecting if a composite photograph is to be taken and for identifying a location of a first photograph to be taken; after the first photograph has been taken, overlays indicia on the display indicating an overlapping area within a second photograph that is to be taken; and uses video tracking to track the overlaid indicia that indicate the overlapping area within the second photograph as the overlaid indicia moves over the image displayed on the display as the camera is moved to a position to take the second photograph, which overlaid indicia is used to align and place the second photograph relative to the first photograph.
