Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, 
the camera may produce distorted results or a 
panorama.  The top and bottom of the area visible in 
the shooting display are cropped out and white strips 
may appear at the top and bottom of the display.
 For Best Results
For best results, move the camera in a small circle at 
a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and 
being careful only to pan in the direction shown by 
the guides.  If the desired results are not achieved, try 
panning at a different speed.

 PRO FOCUS
The camera takes up to three 
shots each time the shutter 
button is pressed, softening 
the background to emphasize 
the main subject.  The amount 
of softening can be adjusted before shooting by 
rotating the main/sub-command dial.  Use for 
portraits or photos of flowers similar to those pro-
duced by SLR cameras.

•  Softening can not be applied to background objects 
that are too close to the main subject.  If a message 
stating that the camera can not create the effect is 
displayed when the camera focuses, try backing 
away from your subject and zooming in.  The camera 
may also be unable to soften the background if the 
subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and 
try again.
•  Frame coverage is reduced.
