Some [[digital camera|digital cameras]] have automatic '''panoramic functions''' that allow easy [[panoramic photography]] without the need for external tools or software.

==Marketing names==
These all use the same technology but are marketed under different names. Some of these names are:
* Sweep panorama ([[Sony]])
* Smart panorama ([[Olympus Corporation|Olympus]])
* Motion panorama ([[Fujifilm]])
* Easy panorama ([[Nikon]])

==How it works==
The effect is created by using a camera with a [[CMOS]] or [[Charge-coupled device|CCD]] sensor and taking multiple exposures (by camera) while controlling the [[exposure (photography)|exposure]] setting. The camera combines the pictures into a large panoramic shot.
