Panorama assist

Use to take a series of pictures that will later be joined to form a single scene (e.g., a panorama or 360 ° virtual-reality image). See “Taking Pictures for a Panorama” ( 44).

•Flash and focus mode can not be changed after shooting begins.

•Each series of pictures is stored in a separate folder with a name con- sisting of a folder number, “P_”, and a three-digit sequence number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., “101P_001”).
