M mode on G6

I don't think you can use the G6 in 'M' mode in panoramic mode, it s a function that sorts its self out. If i were you i'd keep it in 'M' mode so you have control, also set the cam to manual focus too, i use this option in all my landcape shots now because i have learnt how to set it up for depth of field front to back sharpness. The other good reason for setting the exposure in 'M' is when you want to do 'pano' pics you keep the exposure the same for all the other pics you are going to 'stitch'. Below is a web-link on the variuos settings for DOF with your G6, i have found it very helpfull indeed and use it all the time now, i also use the RAW setting too and edit later in PSCS2.

Good luck, read carefully in the above link, but my setting for DOF at the wide setting is 5 FEET, i have also learnt that when you are in full 'M' mode you can press your small black wheel and it will go through all three manual settings, i.e. exposure then aperture then manual focus. Please take note that you need to make sure that the manual focus is still set when pausing between shots for a long period, i.e. check it when you've finished climbing a hill or something.

The sample below is manual everything then i bit of editing in PS.......:
