A Stitch In Time

[russellsnr]

Hi, OK can someone please advise me here.
If I take numerous shots to stitch together I assume shot 1 will have a differant exposure value to say shot 5 due to (1) The movement of the camera to differant areas of the scene (2) The sun hitting the last shot at a slightly differant angle to the 1st shot. So is it better to take the 1st shot then go manual and set the same for every other shot or just let the meter do it's thing. Sorry if it sounds a silly question but if you don't ask you don't get.
Thanks in advance.

I think your thoughts are correct
I don't do a lot of pano's but I do know anyone who has told me they do, shoot manual so its the same exposure throughout the series
