•The camera will start composing the super-wide image internally when the slide cursor reached the other end of the movement range.

•Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera during super-wide shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message “Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled while the message is displayed.

•The “17 mm” and “21 mm” angle of view values are approximate and are provided for reference only. Actual angle of view values are not guaranteed.

•Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting is fixed at full wide angle.

•This function makes it possible to shoot images with a maximum angle of view of 17 mm or 21 mm. Note, however, that shooting conditions can result in a smaller angle of view.
