1. A system for performing a panorama imaging procedure with an imaging device, comprising: imaging means configured to capture adjacent frames of image data; a panorama manager that generates one or more image parameters corresponding to said adjacent frames of image data; and a stitching module that combines said adjacent frames of image data into a composite panorama image, said imaging device capturing and storing an initial frame of said adjacent frames of said image data, said imaging device storing an initial image parameter value that corresponds to said initial frame of said image data, said panorama manager utilizing said initial image parameter value from said initial frame of said image data for all of said adjacent frames of said image data, said initial frame being visually selected by a system user to be located anywhere among said adjacent frames of image data, said initial frame thus representing optimal image characteristics for said composite panorama image.
