Using BEST SHOT
With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose and record multiple images,
which are then combined to a panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama of
up to 360 degrees, which is dramatically greater than the physical capabilities of the
lens.
• The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below.
Slide Direction is Right or Left: Maximum 11520
x
1080 pixels
Slide Direction is Up or Down: Maximum 1920
x
7296 pixels
• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• You can use Slide Panorama to shoot a horizontal image up to approximately
360 degrees and a vertical image up to approximately 180 degrees.
If you shoot a horizontal Slide Panorama image that is less than 360 degrees, the
image size will become 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 degrees.
