Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc at a constant velocity in the direction indicated on the LCD screen.
Subjects at rest are more suited for panorama shots than moving subjects.
• 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.
