[Panorama
Shot]
(Continued)
Tips
• Pan the camera in the recording direction as steadily as possible.
If the camera shakes too
much, it may not be able to
take pictures or may end up
creating a narrow (small)
panorama picture.
The subjects that are displayed in this range are recorded. (guideline)
Notes
• The zoom position is fixed to the W end.
• Since the focus, White Balance, and Exposure Compensation are all fixed
when settings are made for the first picture, recording settings such as
brightness and colour may not be optimal for subsequent pictures.
• The following functions are fixed to the settings indicated below.
[Stabilizer]: [OFF] [Date Stamp]: [OFF]
• For some subjects, the recorded pictures may be distorted or the joined
sections of multiple successively taken pictures that are stitched may also be
noticeable.
• Picture size varies depending on the recording direction and number of
stitched pictures.
The maximum number of recording pixels is as follows:
- Taking pictures in landscape orientation: Approx. 8.5M (8000×1080)
- Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 11.5M (1440×8000)
• 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 colours 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] mode in the same way as with other still pictures (Playback Zoom →35).
You can also press
to automatically scroll pictures in the same way as when
playing back a motion picture (Motion Picture Playback →33).
• Unlike motion picture playback, you cannot perform fast forward or 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.)
