Taking pictures according to the scene [Scene Mode]
●
The zoom position is fixed to the max. Wide.
●
The focus, exposure and White Balance are all fixed to optimal values for the first
picture.
If the focusing or brightness of pictures recorded as part of a Panorama picture after
the first picture are significantly different from those of the first picture, the Panorama
picture as a whole (when all pictures are stitched together) may not have consistent
focus and brightness.
●
The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]
●
Since several pictures are stitched together to create a Panorama picture, some
subjects may be distorted or the joining portions of successively taken pictures that
are stitched may be noticeable.
●
Panorama pictures may not be created or pictures may not be recorded properly
when taking pictures of the following subjects or when taking pictures in the following
recording conditions:
• Subjects that have a continuous monotone or pattern (sky, beach, etc.)
• Moving subjects (person, pet, vehicle, waves, or flowers swaying in the wind, etc.)
• Subjects whose colors or patterns change quickly (such as an image appearing on
a display)
• Dark locations
• Locations with a flickering light source (fluorescent lamp, candle light, etc.)

About panorama playback
You can operate the zoom lever to enlarge still pictures taken in [Panorama Shot]
Scene Mode in the same way as with other still pictures (Playback Zoom →38). You can
also press to automatically scroll pictures in the same way as when playing back a
motion picture (Motion Picture Playback →40).
• Unlike motion picture playback, you cannot perform fast forward or fast rewind by
pressing or while the pictures are scrolling automatically. (You can perform
single-frame forward or rewind while the automatic scrolling operation is paused.)
