1. What “Pano” Means on Osmo Mobile 6
On Osmo Mobile 6, “Pano” refers to panorama capture inside the DJI Mimo app, where the gimbal automatically moves your phone through a sequence of angles, takes multiple photos, then stitches them into one panoramic image. This is different from your phone’s built-in panorama because the gimbal helps keep rotation controlled and consistent.
DJI Mimo typically offers three panorama options on Osmo Mobile 6:
- 3×3 Panorama: captures 9 photos and stitches them into one image
- 240° Panorama (sometimes labeled 1×7): captures 7 photos and stitches them into one image
- CloneMe Panorama: captures 3 photos and stitches them into one image, designed to place the same person multiple times in one scene
