Taking panoramic pictures

Use panorama to “stitch” up to 3 pictures into a panoramic scene.

NOTE: For best results, use a tripod. Individual pictures are not saved, even if panorama capture is cancelled before stitching occurs. (Picture size is set to 5.0 MP for each picture. Exposure Compensation, White Balance, AF Zone, and Color Mode are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.)

1Turn the Mode dial to SCN.

2Press on the 4-way button to highlight Panorama Left-Right or Panorama Right-Left (depending on the direction you want to pan), then press the OK button.

3Take the first picture.

After a quickview, the LCD displays the liveview and an “overlay” from the first picture.

4Compose the second picture. Make the overlay from the first picture cover the same portion in the new picture. (You can press the Delete button to re-take a picture.)

5If you are taking only 2 pictures, press the OK button to stitch them together.

After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together. The LCD displays a quickview for approximately 10 seconds.
