Tips
•Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.
If the camera shakes too
much, it may not be able to
take pictures or may end up
creating a narrow (small)
panorama picture.
Pan the camera to a point slightly ahead of the point that you want to take.
(However, the last frame is not recorded to the end.)
Notes
•The zoom position is fixed to the W end.
•Motion pictures cannot be recorded.
•The focus, White Balance, and Exposure Compensation are all fixed to
optimal values for the first picture. If the focusing or brightness of pictures
recorded as part of a panorama picture after the first picture are significantly
different from those of the first picture, the panorama picture as a whole
(when all pictures are stitched together) may not have consistent focus and
brightness.
•The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]
•Since several pictures are stitched together to create a panorama picture,
some subjects may be distorted or the joining portions of successively taken
pictures that are stitched may be noticeable.
•The number of recording pixels per horizontal line and vertical line of a
panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and number of
stitched pictures.
The maximum number of recording pixels is as follows:
- Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 8000 x 1080
- Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 1440 x 8000
•Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded
properly when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures
in the following recording conditions:
- Subjects that have a continuous monotone or pattern (sky, beach, etc.)
- Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind,
etc.)
- Subjects whose colors or patterns change quickly (such as an image
appearing on a display)
- Dark locations
- Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)
