METHOD FOR CAPTUREING IMAGE SEQUENCE BY AN IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE AND STORING IMAGES IN A DIGITAL FORM, AND IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE A sequence of images is captured by an imaging device 1) and stored in a digital format. After capturing and storing at least one image, the user is guided to move the device (1) such that an image that can be combined with the stored image can be captured. positional information is provided indicating the current orientation of the device (1); information positions | indicating the orientation of the device at the time of capture of each captured image is stored; and the current positional information and stored positional information for the stored image are used to guide the user to move the device to an orientation where an image that can be combined with the stored image can be captured. This can be used regardless of the subject of the images, and can guide the user even when the device is directed out of the combinable range.
