Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan or tilt the camera in an arc with a
constant velocity and in the same
direction as the indication on the screen.
[Sweep Panorama] is better suited for
still subjects, rather than moving ones.
• In Sweep Panorama, it is recommended that you use a wide-angle lens.
• When you use a lens that has a long focal length, pan or tilt the camera
more slowly than when you use a wide-angle lens.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can
lock the focus, exposure, and white balance.
• If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a
screen edge, the image composition may fail. In such case, adjust the
frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then
shoot again.
