Shooting a Panorama Image (Slide Panorama)
With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose and record multiple images,
which are then combined to a panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama of
up to 360 degrees, which is dramatically greater than the physical capabilities of the
lens.
• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• You can use Slide Panorama to shoot a horizontal image up to approximately
360 degrees and a vertical image up to approximately 180 degrees.
1.
In the BEST SHOT Mode, select "Slide Panorama" (page 89).
2.
Press [SET], and then select the
option (page 44).
• You can also select the Slide Direction by rotating the function ring.
3.
Select the direction you are planning to move the camera while
shooting, and then press [SET].
You can select one of four directions: Right, Left, Up, or Down.
4.
Point the camera at the start of the panorama and half-press the
shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.
5.
Press the shutter button the rest of the way down
and a slide cursor will appear on the monitor
screen. Slowly move the camera in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the screen until the
slide cursor reaches the other end of its
movement range (i.e. all the way to the right
when moving the camera to the right).
• The camera will start composing the panorama image
internally when the slide cursor reached the other end
of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you
stop moving the camera during panorama shooting.
