Still picture image quality and their applications
Movie image quality
Panorama shooting lets you create a panoramic picture, using the OLYMPUS Master
software from the provided CD-ROM. An Olympus xD-Picture Card is required for
panorama shooting.
Use the arrow pad to specify at which edge you want to connect the pictures, and then
compose your shots so that the edges of the pictures overlap. The part of the previous
picture where it will be joined to the next picture does not remain in the frame. You
have to remember what the part in the frame looked like and take the next picture so
it overlaps.
