Panoramas
 
Q Panoramas are created from multiple frames; expo-
sure for the entire panorama is determined by the 
fi  rst frame.  The camera may in some cases record an 
greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to 
stitch the frames together perfectly.  The last part of 
the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends 
before the panorama is complete.
 
Q Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned 
too quickly or too slowly.  Panning the camera in a 
direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
 
Q The desired results may not be achieved with mov-
ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvary-
ing subjects such as the sky or a fi eld of grass, sub-
jects that are in constant motion, such as waves and 
waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked chang-
es in brightness.  Panoramas may be blurred if the 
subject is poorly lit.  For Best Results  For Best Results
For best results, use a lens with a focal length of 
35 mm or less (50 mm or less in 35 mm format).  Prop 
your elbows against your sides and move the cam-
era slowly in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping 
the camera parallel or at right angles to the horizon 
and being careful only to pan in the direction shown 
by the guides.  Use a tripod for best results.  If the 
desired results are not achieved, try panning at a dif-
ferent speed.
