Tip

••Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.

If the camera shakes too much, it may not be able to

take pictures or may end up creating a narrow (small) panorama picture.

Pan the camera to a point slightly ahead of the point that you want to take. (However, the last frame is not recorded to the end.)

Notes

••The shortest focal length is fixed.

••Motion pictures cannot be recorded.

••Focus, White Balance, and Exposure Compensation are all fixed to optimal values for the first picture. If the focusing or brightness of pictures recorded as part of a panorama picture after the first picture are significantly different from those of the first picture, the panorama picture as a whole (when all pictures are stitched together) may not have consistent focus and brightness.

••The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.

[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]

••Since several pictures are stitched together to create a panorama picture, some subjects may be distorted or the joining sections of successively taken pictures that are stitched may be noticeable.

••The resolution of a panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and number of stitched pictures.

The maximum resolution is as follows:

-Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 8000 x 1080 pixels

-Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 1440 x 8000 pixels

••Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded properly when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures in the following recording conditions:

-Subjects that have a continuous or monotone pattern (sky, beach, etc.)

-Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind, etc.)

-Subjects whose colors or patterns change quickly (such as an image appearing on a display)

-Dark locations

-Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)
