Abstract:
One embodiment of an apparatus includes a reference position receiving unit configured to receive intermediate or end panorama reference position information input by a user, and a control unit configured to control an imaging device to begin generating a plurality of images to be used to generate a panoramic image based on the intermediate or end panorama reference position information input by the user after the reference position receiving unit receives the intermediate or end panorama reference position information.

Claim (Index 14):
An image capturing method, comprising:\n automatically determining, with circuitry of an image capturing apparatus, an image capturing direction based on a movement of the image capturing apparatus with regard to a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction after receiving a start instruction for a panorama image capturing operation by a user; capturing, with the circuitry, a plurality of images while the image capturing apparatus is moved in the image capturing direction by the user after the image capturing direction is determined; generating, with the circuitry, a panorama image using at least a part of each of the plurality of images based on the image capturing direction; and displaying, with the circuitry, the panorama image on a display.
