1. A method to obtain a smart panorama, comprising:
providing a handheld device, the handheld device comprising a Wide camera for capturing Wide images, each Wide image having a respective Wide field of view (FOVW), a scanning Tele camera for capturing Tele images, each Tele image having a respective Tele field of view (FOVT) smaller than FOVW, and a processor; and
configuring the processor to autonomously capture Tele images, to direct scanning of the FOVT to a specific location within a scene, to stitch a plurality of Wide images with respective FOVW into a panorama image with a field of view FOVP>FOVW, and to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image.
