3 Cautions
• Panoramas are created from multiple frames.  The 
camera may in some cases be unable to stitch the 
frames together perfectly.
• The desired results may not be achieved with mov- ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying 
subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects 
that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa-
terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in 
brightness.  Panoramas may be blurred if the subject 
is poorly lit.
 For Best Results
For best results, be careful not to tilt the camera back-
ward or forward or to either side and try not to move 
the camera while y and + are aligned to form a solid 
circle.
 Printing Panoramas
Depending on the page size and the size of the 
panorama, panoramas may print with their edges 
cropped out or with wide margins at the top and 
bottom or at both sides.
 Framing Panoramas Manually
Follow the steps below if the desired results are not 
achieved with  C AUTO selected for P MODE :
1 Select D MANUAL  for P MODE  in the shooting 
menu.
2  Select a frame and take the first shot.
3 Press  MENU/OK  to display a guide showing an edge of 
the picture you have just taken.  Take the next shot,

Intelligent Face Detection
Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera to automatically detect human faces and set focus and 
exposure for a face anywhere in the frame for shots that emphasize portrait subjects.  Choose for 
group portraits (in horizontal or vertical orientations) to prevent the camera from focusing on the back-
ground.
 1  Turn Intelligent Face Detection on.To use Intelligent Face Detection, press  MENU/
OK  to display the shooting menu and select 
ON  for b FACE DE TEC TIO N
 (P  71).
Green border
•  If a face is detected, it 
will be indicated by a 
green border.
• If there is more than  one face in the frame, 
the camera will select 
the face closest to the 
center; other faces are 
indicated by white 
borders.
3 Cautions
•  If no face is detec ted when the shut ter but ton is  pressed halfway ( P 106), the camera will focus 
on the subject at the center of the display and 
red-eye will not be removed.
• If the subject moves as the shutter button is  pressed, their face may not be in the area indi-
cated by the green border when the picture is 
taken.  If the number of faces is large, additional 
time may be required for processing.
