Example of moving the camera

Reference Section

The user, without shifting position, moves the camera, from end to end of the guide, horizontally or vertically in an arc.

If about 15 seconds (in WNormal (180°)) or 30 seconds (in XWide (360°)) pass from the start of the shooting, and before the guide showing the shooting point reaches the end, the shooting ends.

BNotes on Easy Panorama Shooting

The image area seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.

When the camera movement speed is too fast, there is a large amount of camera shake or there is little change in subject such as wall or in the dark, the shooting ends in an error.

Panorama pictures are not saved when the shooting stops before reaching half of the panorama range.

When the shooting reaches more than half of the panorama range but finishes before the end point, the range that is not shot will be recorded as a gray area.
