Olympus stylus under water camera shoots panorama

I was pretty choaked that after buying my Olympus Stylus 850sw underwater camera that I would have to buy a special almost extinct XD memory card in order to use the panorama function. So I bought a rip off instead.

Basically the camera is programmed to take panorama shots ONLY if you have the olympus brand memory card, and this card worked, so it must be Olympus. Right?

Well who knows, it works and that’s all that mattered to me really. I did buy another memory card, see below, as the XD cards really only get up to 2GB which seems to be enough for now but you never know. I’ve included one of my videos of what this thing looks like, it actually comes with a pretty cool case for it inside as well.
