Shooting Mode

c

Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases record a 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.

Shooting 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.

The desired results may not be achieved with mov- ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa- terfalls, 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 (P66).

a

The tSAVE ORG IMAGE option in the setup menu can be used to record a vpanorama in addition to a seamless zpanorama (P105).

c

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.
