Taking Pictures
3
Press the 4 button.
The camera enters the X mode.
Turn the camera 90° clockwise and align
your first picture.
When the camera detects a person’s face,
the Face Detection function is activated and
the face detection frame appears (p.72).
4
Press the shutter release button halfway.
The focus frame on the display turns green when the camera focuses
on the subject at the correct distance.
5
Press the shutter release button
fully.
The first captured image is temporarily
saved, and the shooting screen for the
second image is displayed.
6
Take the second image.
Overlap the image on the preview guide on the left of the screen to
compose the second image. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 to take the second
image.
The stitched first and second image appears on the display (Instant
Review), and then is saved.
To minimize distortion when taking the second image, turn the camera
so that it pivots around the right edge of the preview guide on the
screen.
Some distortion may result from moving objects, repeating patterns, or
if nothing exists when overlapping the first and second image on the
preview guide.
When the Face Detection function is activated (p.72), it works only
when taking the first image (Blink Detection does not work.).
The stitched together images are saved with the pixel size of f
(2592×1944).
