Photo-finishers and manufacturers of Advanced Photo System (APS) cameras also use the word "panoramic" to refer to any print format with a wide aspect ratio, not necessarily photos that encompass a large field of view. In fact, a typical APS camera in its panoramic mode, where its zoom lens is at its shortest focal length of around 24 mm, has a field of view of only 65°, which many photographers would only classify as wide angle, not panoramic. Cameras with an aspect ratio of 2:1 or greater (where the width is 2 times its height) can generally be classified as being "panoramic."
A panorama of Sydney featuring (from left) the Sydney Opera House, the business district skyline, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The photograph is a segmented panoramic, meaning that it is an assembled collection of numerous overlapping images, as opposed to one continuous exposure. See Panoramic cameras and methods for more.
