Using BEST SHOT
With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose
and record multiple images, which are then combined to a
panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama of up to
360 degrees, which is dramatically greater than the physical
capabilities of the lens.
• The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below.
Slide Direction is Right or Left: 5.5M (7680
x
720 pixels)
Slide Direction is Up or Down: 5.5M (1280
x
4320 pixels)
• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• You can use Slide Panorama to shoot a horizontal image up to approximately 360
degrees and a vertical image up to approximately 180 degrees.
• If you shoot a horizontal Slide Panorama image that is less than 360 degrees, the
image size will become 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 degrees.
1. Press [BS] and then select the “Slide Panorama” scene.
2. Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the top Control Panel
option (Slide Direction).
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the direction you are planning to move the
camera while shooting, and then press [SET].
You can select one of four directions: Right, Left, Up, or Down.
4. Point the camera at the start of the panorama and half-press the
shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.
5. Press the shutter button the rest of the way
down and a slide cursor will appear on the
monitor screen. Slowly move the camera in
the direction indicated by the arrow on the
screen until the slide cursor reaches the
other end of its movement range (i.e. all the
way to the right when moving the camera to
the right).
• The camera will start composing the panorama image internally when the slide
cursor reached the other end of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera
during panorama 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.
