Panorama Mode Not Exclusive to iPhone 5

Sep 16, 2012 3:42PM PDT

The recently announced iPhone 5 gets a new camera with panorama mode that allows you to take panorama images. Thus you can capture 240° field of view with iPhone 5 camera.

Only the panoramic images? How about the 360° videos? These days, I found a new gadget for 360° photo & video capturing with iPhone. The name of the cool gadget is "HotPano mini", by attaching the fisheye lens to your iPhone, you could capture both photos and 720/1080p HD videos that have 180° FOV in all directions.

I just bought it from indiegogo. It's on presell. Search"HotPano" on indiegogo, you'll find it.
It gives my iPhone 4/4s a new lease on life. Haha

Actually as i know, iPhone 5 has a new Apple A6 processor - Apple claims that it is twice as fast as the A5 processor on the iPhone 4S.

But, whatever you have faced same i have. Even, i think compare to iPhone 5; 4S is better ; )

I would like to try the panorama mode on the iPhone 5. However, could only capture 240°of scenery. No panoramic video mode either..
