Taking panoramic pictures
Use panorama to “stitch” up to 3 pictures into a panoramic scene.
NOTE: For best results, use a tripod. 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.)
1Slide the Mode switch to SCN.
2Press 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.
Take 2 or 3 pictures.

NOTE: To use the self-timer 10-second or 2-second setting, see page 34.
