Shooting with a Super Wide Angle of View (Wide Shot)

With this feature, a number of images are shot and then combined to produce an image with a super-wide angle of view that exceeds the widest angle of view possible with the lens. Converted to 35 mm equivalents, the focal distances available with this feature enable shooting with approximate angles of view of 14 mm and 18 mm.

24 mm (lens widest angle)

Wide 1 (18 mm)

Wide 2 (14 mm)

1.In the REC mode, set the mode dial to [b] (BEST SHOT).

3.Select “Wide Shot” and then press [SET].

4.Press [2] and then use [8] and [2] to select the width setting, which is the second Control Panel setting from the top.

5.Use [4] and [6] to select the width setting (angle of view) you want and then press [SET].

There are two settings available: “Wide 1 (18 mm)” and “Wide 2 (14 mm)”. “14 mm” shoots a wider area than “18 mm”.

•Do not point the camera straight down at the ground at this time. If you do, the camera’s built-in vertical/ horizontal position sensor will not operate properly and may make it impossible to start shooting.
