The S5's built-in camera actually uses the sensors to detect the 
orientation of the camera, and it  takes multiple exposures as you move 
the lens through virtual markers.  The stitching isn't perfect 
(presumably because the camera actually needs to be rotated while 
stationary, which is tricky to do, certainly without practice), but it's 
not bad.
