Taking a panoramic photo Panoramic mode allows you to take a series of up to nine photos that the camera application will 'stitch' together to make a single extended image. 1. To take a panoramic photo, select panoramic capture mode. 2. Align the camera to take a photo of one end of the panoramic scene (the furthest left, right, top or bottom). 3. Press the camera button to take the first image; then smoothly turn the camera to the left or right to take the next image of the scene. • A blue dot shows the center of the next image; move the camera so the dot is in the center of the screen; your smartphone will then automatically capture an image and select the center of the next section of the image. Repeat to capture all images. Note: If your photo needs fewer than nine images, tap the shutter button to stop the selection process and process the captured images. The camera application will process the images and save a single extended image to your smartphone's gallery. Note: Panoramic images work best with static outdoor scenes. Objects too close to the camera or large straight edges may confuse the detection process. Shooting a video 1. Frame your subject and steady your smartphone and zoom in or out as needed. 2.
