software on the provided CD-ROM.
The focus, exposure (p. 14), zoom position (p. 19), and [WB] (p. 25) are locked at the rst frame.

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.

when nished.
When the g mark is displayed, you cannot continue shooting any further. Panorama shooting is
