The zoom position is fixed to the W end.

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.
●
When applying picture effects, White Balance is fixed to [AWB].
●
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.
●
The number of recording pixels per horizontal line and vertical line of a Panorama
picture 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. 8000×1080
• Taking pictures in portrait orientation: Approx. 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 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.)
●
When set to [High Key], the effect may be difficult to see, depending on the brightness
of the subject.
●
When set to [Impressive Art], stitches may stand out.
●
While recording with [Soft Focus] [Star Filter], you cannot see the effects on the LCD
monitor.

About panorama playback
Panorama pictures can be enlarged by operating the zoom lever the same way as with
other still pictures. You can also press to automatically scroll pictures in the same
way as when playing back a motion picture (Motion Picture Playback (→36)).
• 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.)
• If the pictures played back are narrowed down with [Slide Show] (→110) or [Filtering
Play] (→113), a selection screen will appear. Use cursor button to select [Play
Panorama] and press [MENU/SET].
