• The camera continues shooting during [Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter
keeps clicking until the end of the shot.
• [Auto Object Framing] and the zoom feature of the camera cannot be used.
Tips for shooting a panoramic image
• In [Sweep Panorama], we recommend that you use a wide-angle lens.
• When you use a lens that has a long focal length, pan or tilt the camera
more slowly than when you use a wide-angle lens.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can
lock the focus and exposure. Then, press the shutter button fully down
and pan the camera.
• If greatly varied shapes or scenery are concentrated along a screen edge,
the image composition may fail. In such cases, adjust the frame
composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then shoot
again.
