zTips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity and in the same direction as the indication
on the LCD screen. [Sweep Panorama] is better suited for still subjects, rather than moving
ones.
• When using a zoom lens, it is recommended that you use it with W side.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can lock the focus,
exposure, and white balance. Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan the
camera.
• If greatly varied shapes or scenery are concentrated along a screen edge, the image
composition may fail. In such case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in
the center of the image, and then shoot again.

You can scroll panoramic images from the beginning to the end by pressing the center of the
control wheel while panoramic images are being displayed. Press the center of the control
wheel again to pause. You can scroll/pause by touching N/X on the screen (NEX -5R

This indicator shows the
displayed area of the whole
panoramic image.

displayed or scrolled correctly.
