Taking a panoramic photo
Panoramic mode allows you to take a series of up to nine photos that the camera
application will ‘stitch’ together to make a single extended image.
1. To take a panoramic photo, select panoramic capture mode.
2. Align the camera to take a photo of one end of the panoramic scene (the furthest
left, right, top or bottom).
3. Tap the Shutter icon to take the first image; then smoothly turn the camera to the
left or right to take the next image of the scene.
• Keep the blue arrow aligned with the dotted arrow as you move the camera. Your smart-
phone will automatically capture an image along the length of your shot.
Note: If your photo needs fewer than nine images, tap the tick icon to stop the
selection process and process the captured images.
The camera application will process the images and save a single extended image
to your smartphone’s gallery.
Note: Panoramic images work best with static outdoor scenes. Objects too close
to the camera or with large straight edges may confuse the detection process.
Shooting a video
1. Frame your subject and steady your smartphone and zoom in or out as needed.
2. Tap to start taking a video. The icon will turn red to indicate that recording is
in progress. Tap the icon again to stop recording.
