Creating a panoramic picture
1. Orient the camera so that the planned left edge of the picture
is not all the way to the left in the monitor image,
2. press the shutter release button, and hold it down
3. Pan the camera steadily in the direction indicated while using
the white line to help keep from drifting up or down too much
Notes:
• If the camera is panned too slowly or too fast, then the
camera will stop taking the picture and a corresponding
notice will appear.
• The more unsteady the camera is and the more it moves up
and down or side to side (depending on picture format), the
smaller the height/width of the final panoramic picture will
be.
• The maximum pivoting angle amounts to approx. 180°.
4. Release the shutter release button to end the picture
When the shutter release button is first pressed down, pictures will
automatically be taken quickly in succession.
After the picture series is completed, the camera will combine the
individual pictures into a single picture.
