Guidance bar Notes • If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the composed image. If this happens, move the camera fast to record a full panoramic image. • Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly. • You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations: - You pan the camera too fast or too slow - There is too much camera shake - You pan the camera in a different direction from the setting • Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred. 38GB
