Creating Panoramic Pictures (continued)
8
Press the OK button several
times until the shooting menu
goes off.
The camera itself is not equipped to create panoramic shots from
overlapping images. Panoramic shots must be pieced together using
CAMEDIA Master. Refer to the CAMEDIA Master online help for
information on how to create composite images.
Turning the camera off also turns off the panorama
function.
If the camera is turned off while shooting using the panorama function,
it will return to normal shooting mode when it is turned on again.
NOTE
• The focus, exposure, and white balance are determined by the first shot in
the panorama. You can not change these settings for the subsequent shots.
• Be careful to position the camera correctly when taking your second and
subsequent shots (at Step 4 in the procedure above). Panorama stitching
will not be possible if you do not overlap consecutive images correctly
within the rectangles.
• The flash does not operate when the camera is in panorama mode.
• It is recommended that you use SQ recording mode when shooting large
panoramas. Use of HQ or SHQ mode may result in huge data sizes that
may lead to memory problems when you stitch the panorama at your
computer.
• The camera will not use TIFF recording mode when taking a panorama. If
you have set the recording mode to TIFF, the camera will use SHQ instead.
If connecting to the right: Shift the camera so that the right edge of the
previous shot becomes the left edge of the next shot (If you shift the
camera in the wrong direction, you will not be able to stitch the panorama).
