Shooting Features
4Move the camera in one of the 
four directions until the guide 
indicator reaches the end.
•When the camera detects which direction it 
is moving in, shooting begins.
• Shooting ends when the camera captures 
the specified shooting range.
• Focus and exposure are locked until 
shooting ends.
Example of camera movement
• Using your body as the axis of rotation, move the camera slowly in an arc, in 
the direction of the marking ( KLJI).
• Shooting stops if the guide does not reach the edge within about 15 
seconds (when W  Normal is selected) or within about 30 seconds (when 
X  Wide  is selected) after shooting starts.
BNotes About Easy Panorama Shooting
•The range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the 
monitor at the time of shooting.
• If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too 
uniform (e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur.
• If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the 
panorama range, a panorama image is not saved.
• If more than half of the panorama rang e is captured but shooting ends before 
reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed 
in gray.
