Tips
• Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.
If the camera shakes too
much, it may not be able to
take pictures or may end up
creating a narrow (small)
panorama picture.
Pan the camera to a point slightly ahead of the point that you want to take.
(However, the last frame is not recorded to the end.)
Notes
• The zoom position is fixed to the W end.
• Motion pictures cannot be recorded.
• The focus, White Balance, and Exposure Compensation are all fixed to
optimal values for the first picture. If the focusing or brightness of pictures
recorded as part of a panorama picture after the first picture are significantly
different from those of the first picture, the panorama picture as a whole
(when all pictures are stitched together) may not have consistent focus and
brightness.
• The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]
• Since several pictures are stitched together to create a panorama picture,
some subjects may be distorted or the joining portions of successively taken
pictures that are stitched may be noticeable.
• The number of recording pixels per horizontal line and vertical line of a
panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and number of
stitched pictures.
The maximum number of recording pixels is as follows:
- Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 8000 x 1080
- Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 1440 x 8000
• Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded
properly when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures
in the following recording conditions:
- Subjects that have a continuous monotone or pattern (sky, beach, etc.)
- Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind,
etc.)
- Subjects whose colours or patterns change quickly (such as an image
appearing on a display)
- Dark locations
- Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)
