With [Shutter] pressed, slowly move the camera in the

direction that will let it capture the rest of the panorama.

In 3D Panorama mode, you can capture a scene only in

horizontal directions.

•

When the viewfinder is aligned with the next scene, the

camera captures the next photo automatically.

When you are finished, release [Shutter].

•

When you have captured all the necessary shots, the camera

combines them into one panoramic photo.

•
For best results when capturing panoramic photos, avoid the
following:
- moving the camera too quickly or too slowly
- moving the camera too little to capture the next image
- moving the camera at irregular speeds
- shaking the camera
- changing the camera direction while capturing a photo
- shooting in dark places
- capturing moving subjects nearby
- shooting conditions where the brightness or color of light is
changing
•
Photos taken are automatically saved, and shooting is stopped under
the following conditions:
- if you change the shooting direction while shooting
- if you move the camera too rapidly
- if you do not move the camera
•
Selecting Panorama mode will disable the digital and optical zoom
functions. If you select Panorama mode while the lens is zoomed in,
the camera automatically zooms out to the default position.
•
In Panorama mode, some shooting options are not available.
•
The camera may stop shooting due to the shooting composition or
movement within the scene.
•
In Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the last scene in
its entirety if you stop moving the camera exactly where you want the
scene to end. To capture the entire scene, move your camera slightly
beyond the point where you want the scene to end.
