If you want to take a series of photos, it makes sense to use the AE lock / AF, with which will avoid different brightness and focus in different parts of the picture.
In order to lock the auto exposure / auto focus, select the frame to the average brightness and touch it on the screen with your fingertip – hold your finger for a moment, until the blue focus frame will not start flashing and the screen displays “Lock AE / AF” .

However, not all situations a wide panoramic shot is the best, so unless you need to use the entire viewing angle, to complete the picture is taken at any time – just one hand movement in the opposite direction from the initial shooting direction.

This saves both the original and the HDR photo in the album “Camera Roll”. This function is useful to include, for example, shooting in different lighting conditions in the frame (one side of the object in the background, and the other – in the bright rays of the sun), which will capture much more detail.
