The zoom position is fixed to the W end.

 

●

The focus, exposure and White Balance 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.

 

●

When applying picture effects, White Balance is fixed to [AWB].

 

●

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. 8000×1080

 •Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 1440×8000

 

●

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.)

 

●

When set to [High Key], the effect may be difficult to see, depending on the brightness 

of the subject.

 

●

When set to [Impressive Art], stitches may stand out.

 

●

While recording with [Soft Focus] [Star Filter], you cannot see the effects on the LCD 

monitor.

other still pictures. You can also press   to automatically scroll pictures in the same 

way as when playing back a motion picture (Motion Picture Playback 

).

 •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.)

 •If the pictures played back are narrowed down with [Slide Show] 

(→110)

 or [Filtering 

Play] 

, a selection screen will appear. Use cursor button to select [Play 

Panorama] and press [MENU/SET].
