Notes
• If you cannot pan or tilt the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a
gray area occurs in the composed image. If this happens, move the camera fast to
record a full panoramic image.
• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded
smoothly. While shooting, do not tilt the camera back and forth, or right and left
when you swing the camera straight ahead.
• Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred or not be recorded.
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the
combined image is not always the same.
• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the
focus and exposure with AE/AF lock are extremely different in brightness, color and
focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and
shoot again.
• [Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting:
– Subjects are moving.
– Subjects are too close to the camera.
– Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such
as sky, sandy beach, or lawn.
– Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
– Subjects with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than
surroundings.
• [Sweep Panorama] recording may be discontinued in the following situations:
– You pan or tilt the camera too fast or too slow.
– There is too much camera shake.
• The camera continues shooting during [Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter
keeps clicking until the end of the shooting.
