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

• A panorama picture may not be able to be created, or the pictures may not be combined properly when recording the following subjects or under the recording conditions below.

– Moving subjects (person, pet, car, waves, flowers swaying in the breeze, etc.)
