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 came ra reaches the half-way point in the 
panorama range, a panora ma image is not saved.
• If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before 
reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed 
in gray.
