ABSTRACT:
An electronic camera useful with a peripheral processor comprises an image sensor for producing image data, an output storage section, an electronic control processor for transferring the image data to the storage section, and a mode selector for indicating whether the camera is used for normal format pictures or for panoramic pictures. When the mode selector is set for panoramic pictures, the electronic control processor includes a panoramic mode indicator in a header with the image data. The peripheral processor keys on the mode indicator to process the tagged images into a panoramic picture. By further including alignment indicia in a view finder in the camera to aid the user in aligning adjacent images, the peripheral processor utilizes image addresses corresponding to the indicia locations to process the tagged images.
