Sweep Panorama
-
Set the mode dial to (Sweep Panorama).
-
Turn the Control Ring to select a shooting direction.
-
Point the camera at the subject you want to adjust the brightness and focus for, then press the shutter button halfway.
-
With the shutter button pressed halfway, point the camera at the start of the composition, then press the shutter button fully down.
-
Pan the camera to the end of the guide (B), following the indicator on the screen.
-
First press the shutter button halfway so that you can 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 a 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 panoramic image.
-
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part may 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 may 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.
