Tips for taking Sweep Panorama™ photos (2D)
Note these limitations when you take Sweep Panorama™ photos:
•
If you cannot pan the phone across the entire subject within the given time, a grey area
occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full
panorama image.
•
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part does not always record
smoothly.
•
Under low light conditions, panorama images can be blurred or of low quality.
•
Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the brightness or color of the
combined images may not be consistent.
•
Sweep Panorama™ mode is not suitable for the following situations: when subjects are
moving or are too close to the camera; when target images offer little contrast, such as
photos of skies, sand beaches, or lawns; and when images change constantly, such as
waves or waterfalls.
•
The camera can cancel shooting in the following situations: you pan the camera too
quickly; you shake the camera too much; you pan the camera in the reverse direction.
