2 Taking a panoramic format picture Compose the scene within the panoramic format frame, and then fully depress the shutter release button to take a panoramic format picture. NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PANORAMIC FORMAT PICTURES • When developing the film, if you have taken only panoramic format pictures on the film, tell the clerk at the processing lab to develop the film with only the panoramic format. If there are both panoramic and standard format photographs on the film, ask the clerk to develop the film with both standard and panoramic format. • On the DATE model, the date and time will not appear on the panoramic format pictures. • The development of panoramic format pictures is a more time-consuming and expensive process than for standard pictures. Please consult the processing lab for more details. • Panoramic format processing facilities differ depending on the area and requirements. Your local film processor or camera dealers will advise you on all the options available to you. • With panoramic format pictures, only the middle area of the frame is exposed. The number of exposures available in the panoramic format is equivalent to that of the standard size. • When the panoramic format picture is printed with a standard size format, the black areas may appear on the top and bottom of the picture. • When taking panoramic format pictures at a distance closer than lm, keep in mind that as when taking standard pictures the picture area will shift slightly downwards. Make sure to compose the scene within the panoramic format close distance compensation frame. 33
