Recording

∫Technique for Panorama Shot Mode

AMove the camera in the recording direction without shaking it. If the camera shakes too

much, pictures may not be able to be recorded, or the recorded panorama picture may become narrower (smaller)

BMove the camera towards the edge of the range you wish to record. (The edge of the range will not be recorded in the last frame)

5Press the shutter button once again to end the still picture recording.

• Recording can also be cancelled by keeping the camera still while recording.

Note

•The zoom position is fixed to Wide.

•The focus, white balance, and exposure are fixed at the optimum values for the first picture. As a result, if the focus or brightness changes substantially during recording, the entire panorama picture may not be recorded at the suitable focus or brightness.

•When multiple pictures are combined to create a single panorama picture, the subject may appear distorted or the connection points may be noticeable in some cases.

•The number of recording pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions of the panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and the number of combined pictures. The maximum number of pixels is shown below.

Recording direction	Horizontal Resolution	Vertical Resolution
Horizontal	8000 pixels	1080 pixels
Vertical	1440 pixels	8000 pixels
