2.Select the desired scene mode with the e / f

Setting the Panorama Mode

This mode is designed to make it easier to take a series of shots then stitch them together with software to make a single image. You can capture a photographic subject that won’t fit into a single frame, such as a landscape, and stitch it together later with a program like the Panorama Maker application.

1.Slide the mode switch to [SCN].

2.Select [Panorama] with the e / f buttons, and press the button.

3.Select the photographic direction with the e / f buttons.

4.Shoot the first image.

„ The next image appears beside the previous image.

5.Orient the camera so that the second frame overlaps a small portion of the photographic subject of the first image and press the shutter button to capture the next image.

6.Follow the same steps to capture subsequent images in the sequence.

7.Finish the sequence by pressing the button or switch to another mode after the last image has been recorded.
