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 case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then shoot again.
-
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 panorama 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 panorama images in the following situations:
-
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
-
There is too much camera shake.
