out changing your position, pan the camera in a steady curve

Panoramas
High-distortion wide-angle lenses may fail to produce the desired
results. An error message will be displayed if the camera is panned too
quickly or unsteadily. Note that because panoramas are composed of
multiple images, the joins between images may be visible and the
desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects or with neon
lights or other subjects that exhibit rapid changes in color or bright-
ness, subjects that are too close to the camera, poorly-lit subjects, and
subjects such as the sky or sea that are a solid color or contain simple
repeating patterns.
The completed panorama will be slightly smaller than the area visible
in the display during shooting. No panorama will be recorded if shoot-
ing ends before the halfway point; if shooting ends after the halfway
point but before the panorama is complete, the unrecorded portion
will be shown in gray.
