NOTE
• The following conditions are not compatible with Slide Panorama shooting.

artificial light, sunlight, etc.

– Moving subject
• Slide Panorama may stop part way through in the following cases.
– Subject or camera movement
– Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
• Shooting a Slide Panorama 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 Slide Panorama 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 Slide Panorama image.
• Shooting in dark surroundings may result in a blurred image or may make Slide
Panorama shooting impossible.
• Slowly move the camera at a constant speed in the same direction as the arrow
that appears on the monitor screen.
• When moving the camera, try to keep the arrow on the monitor screen as straight
as possible.
• The exposure and white balance when shooting Slide Panorama images are fixed
at the levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of
the operation.
• An error message will appear if the camera is unable to successfully record a
series of images.
• If you shoot a moving subject, the camera may not be able to compose the
panorama image properly.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).
