Recording mode Taking Pictures of Yourself [Self Shot] ■■Changing the recording direction of panorama pictures → [Rec] → [Panorama Settings] → [Direction] ••The [Picture Size] cannot be set in Self Shot Mode. ••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: Recording direction Horizontal Vertical Horizontal Resolution 4080 pixels 2560 pixels Vertical Resolution 1920 pixels 3840 pixels Tips Swivel the camera around its center when moving it in the recording direction. Hold the camera with both hands, taking care not to shake it. •• If the camera shakes too much, it may not be able to take pictures or may end up creating a narrow (small) panorama picture. •• Pan the camera to a point slightly ahead of the point that you want to take. (However, the last frame is not recorded to the end.) •• If you change the facial expression or blink, the recorded picture may look unnatural. Try to stay still. Example: ●●We recommend setting the zoom position to Wide when using Self Shot Mode. ●●Since the distance between the camera and subject is close when you take panorama pictures in Self Shot Mode, the edges of the pictures may appear significantly distorted. 63 DVQP1285
