We’ve created an easy-to-follow video tutorial that shows you how to add the hidden panorama mode to iOS 5’s Camera app.
You will need a jailbroken iOS 5 device in order to do it, and you will also need iFile if you want to follow this specific tutorial.
If you meet those prerequisites, step inside to see how to enable panorama mode on iOS 5…
