guidance on the LCD screen.
Notes
• If you cannot pan 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.
• Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred.
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
• When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the locked angle are extremely different in brightness,
color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change lock angle and shoot again.
• Sweep Panorama is not suitable for the following situations:
– Objects are moving
– Objects are too close to the camera
– Image with a repeating pattern such as tiles and image with little contrast such as sky, sandy beach, or
lawn
– Image with constant change such as waves or water falls
• You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations:
– You pan the camera too fast or too slow
– There is too much camera shake
