Select a shooting direction using
/
on the control button. You cannot shoot a panoramic
image in a vertical direction with [Panorama Image Size] set to [360°]. (DSC-W730)
Press MENU
[Shooting Direction]
select [Right] or [Left]. [Up] and [Down] cannot be
selected for [Shooting Direction] when shooting 360 degree panoramic images. (DSC-W710)
The image actually recorded may not cover 360 degrees, depending on the subject or the way it is
shot.
Notes
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in
the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panoramic image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in
brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the AE/AF
locked angle and shoot again.
You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.
