I'm not communicating with you either??? I agree that the image should
be brighter on the left since that's where the sun is. What I don't
understand is why it is that way when individual exposures comprising
the pano have been taken in auto mode. I would assume the camera
reduced the exposure on the left to try and keep the brightness the same
as on the right. That's why I asked for the shutter speeds involved.
Even so the real world brightness difference persists. Is it perhaps
just not as extreme as it might have been?
