Pan the camera.
Slowly pan the camera up, down, left, 
or right as shown below.  Shooting will 
start when the camera detects the 
pan direction and a progress indicator 
will appear in the display.  Shooting 
ends automatically when the end of 
the panorama is reached.
An example of how to pan the camera is shown below. 
Without changing your position, pan the camera in a steady 
curve either horizontally or vertically.  Time the pan according 
to the option selected for  Image size in the shooting menu: 
about 15 seconds are needed to complete the pan when 
Normal panorama  is selected, about 30 seconds when  Wide

Panoramas
Panorama size can be selected using the  Image size item in the 
shooting menu; choose from  Normal panorama and Wide panorama  
( 0 88). An error message will be disp layed if the camera is panned too 
quickly or unsteadily. Note that  because panoramas are composed of 
multiple images, the joins between images may be visible and the 
desired results may not be achieved  with moving subjects or with 
neon lights or other subjects that  exhibit rapid changes in color or 
brightness, subjects that are too  close to the camera, poorly-lit 
subjects, and subjects such as the sky or sea that are a solid color or 
contain simple repeating patterns.
Exposure compensation ( 0118) can be used to adjust exposure by up 
to ±3 EV in steps of 
1/3EV. Adjust exposure compensation after starting 
live view in Step 1.
The completed panorama will be slightly smaller than the area visible 
in the display during shooting.  No panorama will be recorded if 
shooting ends before the halfway  point; if shooting ends after the 
halfway point but before the panorama is complete, the unrecorded 
portion will be shown in gray. Dates can not be imprinted on 
panoramas ( 0254).
