B Notes on Panorama Assist
• Apply the flash mode, self-timer, macro mode, and exposure compensation settings before
releasing the shutter for the first picture. Shooting settings cannot be changed after the first
picture is taken. Image mode (A 62) and Touch shooting (E 49) settings cannot be changed
and pictures cannot be zoomed or deleted until the series is finalized.
• The panorama series is terminated if the camera enters standby mode with the auto off function
(E 88) during shooting. Setting the time allowed to elapse before the auto off function is
enabled to a longer setting is recommended.
C R Indicator
In Panorama assist scene mode, exposure, white
balance, and focus for all pictures in a panorama are fixed
at the values for the first picture in each series.
When the first picture is taken, R is displayed to
indicate that exposure, white balance, and focus are
locked.
