Selecting a shooting mode
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
while moving the camera across the scene.
• 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 panoramic shot overall 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 recording is not suitable when shooting:
– Moving subjects.
– Subjects 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 in Sweep Panorama recording, and the shutter keeps
clicking until the end of the shooting.
• [Auto Port. Framing] and the zoom feature of the camera cannot be used.
