Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity and in the same direction as the indication
on the LCD monitor. [Sweep Panorama] is better suited for still subjects, rather than moving
ones.
• When using a zoom lens, it is recommended to use it with W side.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can lock the focus,
exposure, and white balance.
• 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.
• You can select the direction by [Menu] t [Camera] t [Panorama Direction], and the
image size by [Menu]
