The reason my results were not so good with the Kodak 240 was that the first digital cameras were basically "Point & Shoot", ie automatic, and as you will see below it is vital to have full manual control of the camera. Secondly the software has greatly improved since 2000. That is to say I have used PM4 on some old images from the Kodak 240 and "seaming & ghosting" has all but vanished. But there is no substitute for taking the images manually in the first place, and IMHO there is no better way to describe that than by reference to the notes supplied with PM4.
You will note the comment "* Your camera model may not include this feature or option" was in fact the reason my P&S Kodak 240 did not always provide seamless panos.
These instructions from ArcSoft essentially apply to all software systems as they refer to basic physical aspects of seamlessly joining two or more separate images.
As for most modern cameras the Kodak ZD710 has a [limited to 3 images only] built in stiching facility and indeed it does employ all these rules, eg exposure is frozen upon the first image.
