Technique for Panorama Shot Mode
Taking pictures with the [Fn3] button
The [Fn3] button works as a shutter button in Self Shot Mode. (It can only be
pressed fully.) The button allows you to take pictures of yourself while holding the
camera with your right hand.
Taking panorama pictures in Self Shot Mode
Swivel the camera around its centre when moving it
in the recording direction. Hold the camera with
both hands, taking care not to shake it.
• When the focal length is long, such as when a
telephoto lens is attached, move the camera slowly.
• If the camera shakes too much, pictures may not be
able to be recorded, or the recorded panorama
picture may become narrower (smaller).
• Move the camera towards the edge of the range you
wish to record.
(The edge of the range will not be recorded in the last
frame.)
• If you change the facial expression or blink, the
recorded picture may look unnatural. Try to stay still.
• We recommend setting the zoom position to Wide
when using Self Shot Mode.
• Since the distance between the camera and subject is
close when you take panorama pictures in Self Shot
Mode, the edges of the pictures may appear
significantly distorted.
