This part will not be taken Guidance bar 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 panoramic image. • Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly. • Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred or the shooting may not be successful. • Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the brightness or color of the combined image will not always be the same. • 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. • Intelligent Sweep Panorama is not suitable for the following situations: - Subjects are too close to the camera - Images with little contrast, such as sky, sandy beach or lawn - Images with constant changes, such as waves or waterfalls • You cannot create panoramic images in the following situations: - You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly. - There is too much camera shake.
