Taking pictures/videos
Using Automatic Panorama in Creative mode
Pan up to 180 degrees horizontally or up to 120 degrees vertically. The camera takes
several pictures, then “stitches” them into a single, wide image.
Choose the direction of panning

2 Press and to highlight Automatic Panorama, then press OK.

Press for Right-to-Left, Bottom-to-Top, or Top-to-Bottom. Then press OK.
Take the picture
For best results, set the lens to wide angle (no zoom). Choose stationary subjects.
1 At your starting point, press the Shutter button halfway down to focus and set the
exposure, then press completely down and hold it.
2 Keeping the Shutter button pressed, slowly pan or tilt in the direction you selected.
3 Release the Shutter button when the LCD displays “Processing.
The camera automatically stops recording images when a certain number of pixels is
reached. This equates to approximately 180 degrees horizontally or 120 degrees
vertically. (You might capture more or less, depending on scene content.)
NOTE: If the scene contains an uninterrupted expanse of similar pixels—such as a plain, white wall—the
camera may interpret this as the same group of pixels and abbreviate the wall in the final image.
4 When finished, turn the Mode dial to another mode.
• Cover the entire sweep in about 5 seconds.
• If you pan or tilt too quickly or too slowly,
the LCD displays an error.
• Experiment until you get the timing right.
