You can also end recording if you stop panning the camera while taking pictures.

■

 

• 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.

The subjects that are displayed in this range are recorded. (guideline)

 

●

The zoom position is fixed to the max. Wide.

 

●

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.

 

●

The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Digital Zoom]: [OFF]    [Date Stamp]: [OFF]    [Burst]: [OFF]

 

●

Following [Rec] menu settings will be automatically adjusted and cannot be selected 
manually.
[Sensitivity], [Color Mode]

 

●

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. 3200x720

 

• Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 960x3200

 

●

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 colors 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.)
