Panoramas

QPanoramas are created from multiple frames; expo- sure for the entire panorama is determined by the first frame. The camera may in some cases record an greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends

before the panorama is complete.

QShooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Panning the camera in a

direction other than that shown cancels shooting.

QThe desired results may not be achieved with mov- ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvary- ing subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, sub- jects that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked chang- es in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

For Best Results

For best results, prop your elbows against your sides and move the camera slowly in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the guides. Use a tripod for best results. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.
