Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Hold the camera as close to the body as possible with elbows pressed against your sides, then pan the camera around you in an arc, at a steady speed, in the direction of the arrow indicated on the screen. (Aim for 5 or 6 seconds for a half circle.)
It is recommended that you practice a few times before shooting.
For best effect, ensure that the distance between subject and background is sufficient, and there is enough ambient light.
