Since creating regular panorama shots is [so last year](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/iphone-5-camera-compared-iphone-4s-low-light-video/), LG's come up with a new option for its [Optimus G Pro](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/21/lg-optimus-g-pro-official-ntt-docomo/). We first heard about the feature during the [launch](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/android-photo-sphere-panorama-google/) of the 5.5-inch handset, and now the Korean company's just outed a YouTube video showing how it works. It looks very similar, but not identical to Google's latest Photo Sphere update, letting you pan in different directions while photos of the scene are captured and stitched automatically. The software compiles it into a large panorama file that lets you pan and zoom into the scene, exactly like the recent [Android 4.2 option.](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/android-photo-sphere-panorama-google/) We've reached out to LG to see if there's any relation between the two apps, but more choice is always better anyway, no?
