[Panorama
Shot]
(Continued)
Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.
-If the camera shakes too
much, it may not be able to
take pictures or may end up
creating a narrow (small)
panorama picture.
The subjects that are displayed in this range are recorded. (guideline)
The zoom position is fixed to the W end.
The focus, White Balance, and Exposure Compensation are all fixed to
optimal values for the first picture.
If the focusing or brightness of pictures recorded as part of a Panorama
picture after the first picture are significantly different from those of the first
picture, the Panorama picture as a whole (when all pictures are stitched
together) may not have consistent focus and brightness.
The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]
Since several pictures are stitched together to create a Panorama picture,
some subjects may be distorted or the joining portions of pictures taken
successively that are stitched may be noticeable.
The number of recording pixels per horizontal line and vertical line of a
Panorama picture varies depending on the recording direction and number of
stitched pictures.
The maximum number of recording pixels is as follows:
- Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 8000 x 1080
- Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 1440 x 8000
Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded
properly when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures
in the following recording conditions:
- Subjects that have a continuous monotone or pattern (sky, beach, etc.)
- Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind,
etc.)
- Subjects whose colors or patterns change quickly (such as an image
appearing on a display)
- Dark locations
- Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)
You can operate the zoom lever or perform touch operations to enlarge still
)ictures taken in [Panorama Shot] scene mode in the same way as with other
still pictures. If you play back panorama pictures in the same way as playing
back a motion picture, the panorama pictures are scrolled automatically. (--_45)
Unlike motion picture playback, you cannot perform fast forward or fast rewind
while the panorama pictures are scrolling automatically. (You can perform
single-frame forward or rewind while the automatic scrolling operation is
paused.)
