Notes
• When the auxiliary displays are deactivated, the auxiliary line will
only be visible as long as the shutter button is held at the first
pressure point.
• The height of the final panorama image depends on how steady
the camera is held during the vertical pan.
• The max. panning angle is approx. 180°.
• Panorama pictures are always taken in automatic program mode,
no matter what the settings for the shutter-speed dial and the
aperture ring are.
• Regardless of the current focal length setting, panorama pictures
are always taken with 28 mm.
• Panorama pictures are always stored in
of the current menu setting.
• Panorama pictures cannot be taken with a flash.
• The resolution of a panorama picture depends on the direction of
the picture and number of pictures taken.
• Sharpness, white balance and exposure are set to optimal values
for the first shot. That is why the final panorama picture may not
be in perfect focus or have ideal brightness if there are significant
changes in the distance between camera and object or the ambi-
ent light while the picture is taken.
• Some objects in the picture may appear distorted or there may be
visual transitions, because the panorama picture is composed of a
series of individual exposures.
• Panorama shots are not available for slow shutter speeds
(>1⁄60 s).
