Sweep Panorama
Allows you to create a panoramic image from composed images.
1 Set the mode dial to (Sweep Panorama).
2 Point the camera at the edge of the subject, then
press the shutter button fully down.
3 Pan the camera to the end, following the
guidance on the LCD screen.
• If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the
composed image. If this happens, move the camera fast to record a full panoramic image.
• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
• Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred.
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure
with AE/AF lock are extremely different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be
successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.
• Sweep Panorama is not suitable for the following situations:
– Objects are moving
– Objects are too close to the camera
– Image with a repeating pattern such as tiles and image with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or
lawn
– Image with constant change such as waves or water falls
– Image with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than surroundings
• You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations:
– You pan the camera too fast or too slow
– There is too much camera shake
