Using BEST SHOT
Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera
during super-wide shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message
“Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until
this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled
while the message is displayed.
NOTE
The “14 mm” and “18 mm” angle of view values are approximate and are provided
for reference only. Actual angle of view values are not guaranteed.
Zoom operations are not supported during Wide Shot shooting. The zoom setting
is fixed at full wide angle.
This function makes it possible to shoot images with a maximum angle of view of
14 mm or 18 mm. Note, however, that shooting conditions can result in a smaller
angle of view.
The following conditions are not compatible with Wide Shot shooting.
Subject whose brightness is very different from that of its surroundings due to
artificial light, sunlight, etc.
Rivers, waves, waterfalls, or other subject with constantly changing patterns
Sky, beach, or other subject with continuous patterns
Camera too close to the main subject
Moving subject
Panning upwards on a skyscraper or some other very tall structure or object
Dark surroundings
Any of the following can cause Wide Shot operation to stop part way through.
Subject or camera movement
Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
Camera movement outside of the required route
Camera movement in the wrong direction
Shooting a Wide Shot image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform Auto
Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable differences in
the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this happens, try
changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.
Since a Wide Shot image is created by joining multiple images together, there may
be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.
Shooting under a flickering light source (such as fluorescent lighting) may result in
uneven brightness and/or coloring in the final Wide Shot image.
The exposure and white balance when shooting Wide Shot images are fixed at the
levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of the
operation.
With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).
