Icon Description
Panorama: Capture a 2D or 3D 
panoramic photo. Captured 3D 
panoramic photos can be viewed 
only on a 3D TV.
• The maximum size of a 2D panoramic photo is 8000 X 1152 
(horizontal) and 1728 X 4752 (vertical).
• The maximum size of a 3D panoramic photo is 3300 X 768 
(horizontal).
• In Panorama mode, some shooting options are not available.
• The camera may stop shooting due to the shooting 
composition or the subject's movement.
• In Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the entire 
last scene if you stop moving the camera to improve the photo 
quality. To capture the entire scene, move your camera slightly 
beyond the point where you want the scene to end.
Icon Description
• In 3D Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the 
very beginning or end of a scene due to the nature of the 3D 
effect. To capture the entire scene, move slightly beyond the 
beginning and end points you want to capture.
• In 3D Panorama mode, photos are captured in both JPEG and 
MPO file formats.
• You can view an MPO file that supports the 3D effect only on 
an MPO-compatible display, such as 3D TV or 3D monitor. On 
your camera's display, you can view only JPEG files.
• Use proper 3D glasses when you view an MPO file on a 3D TV 
or 3D monitor.
Beauty Shot: Hide facial 
imperfections.
Night: Capture scenes at night or in 
low lighting. Use a tripod to prevent

v Movie mode
In Movie mode, you can shoot videos in Full High Definition (1920X108\
0) 
and capture sound via the camera’s microphone.
In order to adjust the exposure level, you can select Program in the 
Movie AE Mode options menu so that the aperture value and shutter 
speed can be automatically set or select Aperture Priority to manually 
set the aperture value. You can also select Shutter Priority to manually 
set the shutter speed or select Manual to manually set both the 
aperture value and shutter speed. While shooting a video, press [F] to 
activate or deactivate the AF function.
Select Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice to 
mute or un-mute voice.
The camera lets you capture video files up to 25 minutes in length at  
30 or 24 fps, and saves the files in MP4 (H.264) format. 24 fps is 
available only with 1920X810.
• H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established 
in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high 
compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
• If you set the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the 
camera may record the image stabilizer sound.
• The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the 
lens while recording a video.
• When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.
• If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will 
be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.
• If you attach an external microphone while recording a movie, sound will 
not be recorded through the external microphone. (The previous settings 
are maintained.) If you remove the external microphone while recording a 
movie, sound will not be recorded. Turn off the camera before attaching or 
removing the external microphone.
• If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting 
a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a 
tripod to minimize camera shake.
• In Movie mode, the camera supports only the Multi AF function. You 
cannot use any other focus area setting functions, such as Face Detection 
AF.
• When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically 
stops recording. If this occurs, continue shooting by starting a new movie 
file.
• If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be 
interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is 
being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or 
reduce the image size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480).
• When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you 
format on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause 
a change in the capacity of the card.

Shooting Functions
The camera saves photos in either the JPEG or RAW format.
Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to the JPEG format 
and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the 
time of shooting. RAW files are not transformed to the JPEG format and 
are stored in the memory without any changes. 
RAW files have the file extension “SRW”. To adjust and calibrate 
exposures, White Balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW 
files, or to convert them into JPEG or TIFF format, use the Adobe 
Photoshop Lightroom program found on the supplied DVD-ROM.
Ensure you have enough space on the memory card to save photos  
in the RAW format.
To set the quality, In Shooting mode, press [f] → Quality → an option.
