Note
If the entire angle of the panoramic shot is not achieved within the set time, a gray area occurs in the
composite image. If this happens, move the product faster to record the full panoramic image.
When [Wide] is selected for [Panorama: Size], the entire angle of the panoramic shot may not be
achieved within the given time. If this happens, try shooting after changing [Panorama: Size] to
[Standard].
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part may not be recorded smoothly in some
cases.
The images may be blurred in dark scenes.
When a light source such as a fluorescent light flickers, the brightness and color of a stitched image
may not be consistent.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in
brightness and focus, the shooting may not be successful. If this happens, change AE/AF locked
angle and shoot again.
The following situations are not suited for shooting Sweep Panorama:
Moving subjects.
Subjects that are too close to the product.
Subjects with continuously similar patterns, such as the sky, beach, or a lawn.
Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
