NOTE
• The focus, exposure, and white balance are determined by the first shot in the
panorama.You can not change these settings for the subsequent shots.
• Be careful to position the camera correctly when taking your second and subsequent
shots (at Step 4 in the procedure above). Panorama stitching will not be possible if
you do not overlap consecutive images correctly within the rectangles.
• The flash does not operate when the camera is in panorama mode.
• It is recommended that you use SQ recording mode when shooting large panoramas.
Use of HQ or SHQ mode may result in huge data sizes that may lead to memory
problems when you stitch the panorama at your computer.
• The camera will not use SHQ-TIFF recording mode when taking a panorama. If you
have set the recording mode to SHQ-TIFF, the camera will use SHQ instead.
