Tips for shooting a panoramic image
Pan the camera in an arc with a constant velocity and in the same direction as the indication
on the LCD screen. Sweep Panorama is better suited for still subjects, rather than moving
ones.
Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can lock the focus exposure
and white balance.
Adjust the frame composition so that a portion with greatly varied scenery is in the center of the
image.
