Shooting Mode

QPanoramas are created from multiple frames. 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. Pan- ning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.

Q The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a fi eld of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

z

Choose zfor seamless 360° panoramas that can be played back in a loop (P58).

RThe tSAVE DATA SET-UP> SAVE ORG IMAGE option can be used to record a

vpanorama in addition to a seamless zpanorama (P98).

Q Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, the camera may produce distorted results or a v panorama. The top and bottom of the area visible in the shooting display are cropped out and white strips may appear at the top and bottom of the display.

For Best Results

For best results, move the camera 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. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.
