Tips for shooting a panoramic image
• Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity.
• Pan the camera in the same direction as the
indications on the LCD screen. If the camera shakes
while the panning, the joint may not be recorded
smoothly.
• Pan the camera keeping the radius of the arc as short
as possible.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button
halfway, so that you can lock the exposure and white
balance.
• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the
locked angle are extremely different in brightness,
color and focus, the shooting will not be successful.
If this happens, change 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 sky, sandy
beach, or lawn
– Image with constant change such as waves or
water falls
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the
brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
