Today I am bringing you a pretty awesome TRULY hidden feature of iOS 5. Some of you may have heard the buzz about this hidden heck online and if you have you probably agree it’s pretty awesome.
Hidden away in iOS 5 behind the scenes is an awesome Panorama mode for the native camera app. This is just a glimpse of what else Apple might be hiding from us. This is an easy hack that DOESN’t REQUIRE JAILBREAKING! But please do this at your own risk.
Below are the instructions which I extracted from http://www.redmondpie.com/
Step 1: Backup your device’s data in iTunes. This is not the usual precautionary measure, you’ll actually need to modify this backup in order to perform the hack.
Step 2: Download iBackupBot from the link below it’s compatible with Windows and Mac.

Step 3: Once it’s finished downloading, install and launch iBackupBot.
Step 4: Locate your com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist file
Step 5: Double click the file which will take you to the editing page.
Step 6: Directly below:
<key>DiskSpaceWasLow</key>
<false/>
add
<key>EnableFirebreak</key>
<true/>
then hit the disk icon to save.
Step 7: Restore to your backup via iTunes.
Step 8: The process is now complete. Launch the Camera.app, navigate to Options and click on Panorama to begin shooting images in panorama mode.
