1. A digital camera system comprising: a lens; an image sensor for sensing an image viewed by the lens; a display for displaying the image sensed by the image sensor; a storage device for storing the image sensed by the image sensor; processing circuitry coupled to the display, lens, image sensor, and storage device; and a processing algorithm that runs on the processing circuitry that: provides a user interface for selecting if a composite photograph is to be taken and for identifying a location of a first photograph to be taken; after the first photograph has been taken, overlays indicia on the display indicating an overlapping area within a second photograph that is to be taken; and moves the overlaid indicia along with the image displayed on the display as the camera is moved to a position to take the second photograph, which overlaid indicia is used to align and place the second photograph relative to the first photograph.
