z Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity and in the same direction as the indication
on the LCD screen. Sweep Panorama is better suited for still subjects, rather than moving
ones.
• 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.
