A question about Exposure.
 
To make my Pano's I need to shoot 38 Pics whcih is fine with me. A constant I am coming across though is the zenith shot being visible as a big ugly dot. I have tried to blend this out in photoshop with little success. So i have realized it is an exposure thing in camera and nothing to do with Stiticher and Photoshop.
 
Does anybody out there have any tips or tricks to get past this, every other element in my pano's look great.  
 
Also is there a way to boost Equilize's sensitivity. I find it doesn't really do mcuh with so many images that have different exposure's.
 
Any Advice would be welcomed.

What camera & lens combination are you using?

Thanks for the interest.
 
Right now I am using the panosonic FZ-50. Overall i like the camera and want to make it work. It has a full range lens form 35- 420mm. When i get more funds coming in I'll upgrade to a Canon 40D with the sigma lens but for now this is what i have to work with.
 
Thanks for any information you can provide

I would love to but I don't know how to post to the web. I follow the steps but what URL do I attach my files to. Everything is going well here as per learning curve just need a tip on how to post.
 
Please Advise and Thank You

You should normally lock the exposure-setting (manual, including locking the focus) before doing the shots. That way the exposure will be constant for all shots including the nadir.
