ABSTRACT:
A photographing device supporting a panoramic imaging includes an image capture section for photographing a subject and outputting image data representing the subject, a sensor module for computing and outputting an azimuth of a photographing direction toward the subject, an image processor for creating a panoramic image by combining a plurality of image data captured at the image capture section, an output section for displaying a message using a display, and a controller for controlling the output section to set a target azimuth corresponding to an azimuth at an image capture and to adjust a photographing direction to the target azimuth when one of the plurality of the image data is captured. Thus, after photographing the subject in various angles while precisely controlling the photographing direction, the panoramic image can be created by combining the captured images.
