• Panoramic images are played back with the supplied software "PMB" (page 138).
• Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity.
• Pan the camera in the same direction as the indication
on the LCD screen. If the camera shakes during the
panning, the joint may not be recorded smoothly.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button
halfway, so that you can lock the exposure and white
balance.
• 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
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the
brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
