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 panorama shots than moving subjects.
Radius as short as possible.
Vertical direction
Horizontal direction
  • First, press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus and exposure. 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 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 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.
