Tips for Sweep Panorama shooting
• In Sweep Panorama, it is recommended that you use a wide-angle lens.
• When you use a lens that has a long focal length, pan or tilt the camera
more slowly than when you use a wide-angle lens.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can
lock the focus, exposure, and white balance.
• If greatly varied shapes or scenery are concentrated along a screen edge,
the image composition may fail. In such cases, adjust the frame
composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then shoot
again.
