Sweep Panorama
Allows you to create a panoramic image from composed images.
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.
When you select [Wide] in [Image Size], you may not be able to pan the camera across the entire subject
within the given time. In such cases, we recommend that you select [Standard] in [Image Size].
The camera shoots continuously during [Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter continues to click
until shooting is finished.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
Under low light conditions, panoramic images may be blurred.
Under flickering lights such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
When the panoramic shot overall and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure with AE/AF
lock are extremely different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this
happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.
[Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting the following subjects:
Subjects in motion.
Subjects that are too close to the camera.
Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy
beach, or lawn.
Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
Subjects with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than surroundings.
