Set the mode dial to (Sweep Shooting). 2 . Align the camera with the end of the subject to be shot and press the shutter button fully. A: This part will not be recorded. 3 . Pan the camera to the end of the guide (B) , following the indicator on the screen. Tips for shooting a panoramic image Pan the camera in an arc at a constant velocity in the direction indicated on the screen. Subjects at rest are more suited for panoramic shots than moving subjects. Radius as short as possible. Vertical direction 56
Horizontal direction First press the shutter button halfway so that you can lock the focus, exposure and white balance. Then press the shutter button fully down and pan or tilt the camera. If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a screen edge, the image composition may fail. In such a case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then shoot again. Notes If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panoramic image. Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly. When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the AE/AF locked angle and shoot again. You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations:You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly. There is too much camera shake.
