Vertical direction Horizontal direction First, press the shutter button halfway so that you can lock the focus and exposure. Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan or tilt the camera. If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a screen edge, the image composition may fail. In such case, adjust the frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then shoot again. To shoot a 360 degree panoramic image This camera is equipped with a panorama shooting function, capable of shooting a near-full 360 degree panoramic image. Shoot a panoramic image by selecting MENU set [Panorama Image Size] to [360°]. Recorded panoramic images can be scrolled accurately when played on the camera. Select a shooting direction with / . You cannot shoot a panoramic image in a vertical direction with [Panorama Image Size] set to [360°]. The image actually recorded may not cover 360 degrees, depending on the subject or the way it is shot. 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 panorama image. Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly. 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. You cannot create panorama images in the following situations: You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly. 58
