• [3D Photo] is subject to the following limitations.
[3D Photo] can be used only with a 3D lens.
The camera monitor cannot be used to playback images in 3D. Use a device that
supports 3D display.
Focus is locked. In addition, fl ash and self-timer also cannot be used.
Image size is fi xed at 1824 × 1024.
RAW photography is not available.
Frame coverage is not 100%.
• In [Panning], camera movement is detected and the optimal shutter speed is controlled
when moving the camera to track a moving subject. It is convenient for shooting moving
subjects as if the background is fl owing.
In [Panning], J is displayed during panning detection, and I is displayed when
nothing is detected.
When using a lens with an image stabilizer switch in [Panning], turn the image stabilizer
switch off.
Suffi cient panning effects may not be obtained in bright conditions. Use a commercially
available ND fi lter to obtain effects more easily.
Taking panoramas
