APanoramas

Panorama size can be selected using the Image size item in the shooting menu; choose from Normal panorama and Wide panorama (0 88). An error message will be displayed if the camera is panned too quickly or unsteadily. Note that because panoramas are composed of multiple images, the joins between images may be visible and the desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects or with neon lights or other subjects that exhibit rapid changes in color or brightness, subjects that are too close to the camera, poorly-lit subjects, and subjects such as the sky or sea that are a solid color or contain simple repeating patterns.

Exposure compensation (0 118) can be used to adjust exposure by up to ±3 EV in steps of 1/3 EV. Adjust exposure compensation after starting live view in Step 1.

The completed panorama will be slightly smaller than the area visible in the display during shooting. No panorama will be recorded if shooting ends before the halfway point; if shooting ends after the halfway point but before the panorama is complete, the unrecorded portion will be shown in gray. Dates can not be imprinted on panoramas (0 254).
