The zoom position is fixed to the max. Wide.

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]    [Burst]: [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.
 ●
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.)

a display)
 • Dark locations
 • Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)

 About panorama playback
You can operate the zoom lever to enlarge still pictures taken in [Panorama Shot] mode 
in the same way as with other still pictures (Playback Zoom →37). You can also press   
to automatically scroll pictures in the same way as when playing back a motion picture 
(Motion Picture Playback →39).
 • Unlike motion picture playback, you cannot perform fast forward or rewind by 
pressing   or   while the pictures are scrolling automatically. (You can perform 
single-frame forward or rewind while the automatic scrolling operation is paused.)
