Taking panoramic pictures

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

NOTE: For best results, use a tripod. (For a steady shutter release on a tripod, see page 11.)

Only the panoramic picture is saved; individual pictures are not. Picture size is set to 5.0 MP. Exposure and white balance are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.

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, either press OK or keep the SCN mode highlighted.

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 OK to stitch them together. After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together.
