Tips for shooting a panorama image
Pan the camera in an arc at a constant velocity in the direction indicated on the screen. Subjects at
rest are more suited for panorama shots than moving subjects.
Radius as short as possible.
Vertical direction
Horizontal direction
First, press the shutter button halfway so that you can lock the focus, exposure and white balance.
Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan or tilt the camera.
If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a screen edge, the image
composition may fail. In such case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in the center
of the image, then shoot again.
Notes
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in
the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panorama image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in
brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change AE/AF
locked angle and shoot again.
You cannot create panorama images in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.
