Shooting a Panorama Image (Slide Panorama)

With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose and record multiple images, which are then combined to a panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama which is dramatically greater than the physical capabilities of the lens.

•The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below. Slide Direction is Right or Left: Maximum 11520x1080 pixels Slide Direction is Up or Down: Maximum 1920x7296 pixels

•Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom setting is fixed at full wide angle.

•You can shoot a panorama image for approximately 360 degrees horizontally, or approximately 180 degrees vertically.

1.In the REC mode, touch “b” (BEST SHOT).

2.Touch “s” (Slide Panorama) scene.

3.Touch the icon for the slide direction (the direction the camera will move while shooting).

You can select one of four different slide directions: “ ” (right), “ ” (left), “ ” (up), “ ” (down).

4.Point the camera at the start of the panorama and half-press the shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.

5.Press the shutter button the rest of the way down and a slide cursor will appear on the monitor screen. Slowly move the camera in the direction indicated by the arrow on the screen until the slide cursor reaches the other end of its movement range (i.e. all the

way to the right when moving the camera to

Slide cursor

the right).

 

•The camera will start composing the panorama 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 panorama 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.
