Taking panorama pictures [Panorama Shot] Mode
Press the shutter button fully again to end recording
You can also end recording if you stop panning the camera while taking pictures.
■Tips
•Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.
If the camera shakes too much, it may not be able to
take pictures or may end up creating a narrow (small) panorama picture.
The subjects that are displayed in this range are recorded. (guideline)
●The zoom position is fixed to the max. Wide.
●The focus, exposure and White Balance are all fixed to optimal values for the first picture.
If the focusing or brightness of pictures recorded as part of a Panorama picture after the first picture are significantly different from those of the first picture, the Panorama picture as a whole (when all pictures are stitched together) may not have consistent focus and brightness.
●The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below. [Digital Zoom]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF] [Burst]: [OFF]
●Following [Rec] menu settings will be automatically adjusted and cannot be selected manually.
[Sensitivity], [Color Mode]
●Since several pictures are stitched together to create a Panorama picture, some subjects may be distorted or the joining portions of successively taken pictures that are stitched may be noticeable.
●The number of recording pixels per horizontal line and vertical line of a Panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and number of stitched pictures. The maximum number of recording pixels is as follows:
•Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 3200x720
•Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 960x3200
●Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded properly when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures in the following recording conditions:
•Subjects that have a continuous monotone or pattern (sky, beach, etc.)
•Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind, etc.)
•Subjects whose colors or patterns change quickly (such as an image appearing on a display)
•Dark locations
