Taking panoramic pictures

(Exposure and white balance are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.)

(depending on the direction you want to pan), then press OK.

After a quickview, the LCD displays the liveview and an “overlay” from the first picture.
4Compose the second picture. Make the overlay from the first picture cover the 
same portion in the new picture. 
5If you are taking/stitching only 2 pictures, press OK to stitch them together.
After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together.

Tagging pictures
Tag pictures to make them easy to find, later. You can tag pictures in 2 ways:
■People, and then find all pictures of “Mary.”
■Keywords, and then find all pictures from “Dad’s 60th Birthday.”
Tagging people
When you tag faces, you’re helping your camera to recognize people by name. Then it 
matches names and faces in pictures you’ve taken—
and those you take in the future!

2Press the Menu  button. Press   to choose Tag People, then press OK.
3Press   to choose Apply Tags, then press OK. 
4Press   to choose an existing name, or New Name to add a new one (see 
page 20), then press OK.
If more than one face is detected, a name or question mark is assigned to each detected 
face. To resolve an incorrect name or a question mark, press   to select a face, 
then press OK.
5If prompted to Update People Tags, press   to choose Yes, then press OK.
Other pictures are scanned and updated with the name(s) you applied here. 
Press   to add names to other pictures. When finished, press   to choose 
Done, then press OK. To return to picture-taking mode, press the Shutter button 
halfway down.
Tip: Are faces not always detected? 
If a face is turned sideways, is too distant, or if the contrast between face and 
background is insufficient, then the camera might not detect the face.
