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. (Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Exposure Metering, AF Zone, AF Control, Color Mode, and Sharpness are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.) You can use the self-timer (2- and 10-second delays) while taking panoramic pictures. See page 11.
1Turn the Mode dial to Panorama .
2Press to highlight Panorama Left-Right or Panorama Right-Left (depending on the direction you want to pan), then press OK.
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.
5If you are taking only 2 pictures, press OK to stitch them together. After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together.
Take 2 or 3 pictures.
Get 1 panoramic picture.
