degree panoramic image.

panoramic images can be scrolled accurately when played on the camera.
Select a shooting direction with
image in a vertical direction with [Panorama Image Size] set to [360°].
The image actually recorded may not cover 360 degrees, depending on the subject or the way it is
shot.
Notes
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in
the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panorama image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in
brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change AE/AF
locked angle and shoot again.
You cannot create panorama images in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.
