Tips for shooting a panoramic image
In Sweep Panorama, it is recommended that you use a wide-angle lens.
When you use a lens that has a long focal length, pan or tilt the camera
more slowly than when you use a wide-angle lens.
Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can
lock the focus, exposure, and white balance.
If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a
screen edge, the image composition may fail. In such case, adjust the
frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then
shoot again.
You can select the image size: MENU button t 2 t [Panorama:
Size].
To create 3D-images
Set the mode dial to (Sweep Shooting), select [3D Sweep Panorama],
and shoot the image. Using the same operation as that for Sweep Panorama,
the camera records multiple images and combines them to create a 3D-
image. You can view these 3D images using a 3D-compatible TV. For
details on 3D-shooting, see page 198.
To set the pan or tilt direction
You can set the direction in which to pan or tilt the camera.
MENU button t 2 t [Panorama: Direction] or [3D Pan.:
Direction] t Select the desired setting
Pan or tilt the camera in an arc with a
constant velocity and in the same
direction as the indication on the screen.
[Sweep Panorama] is better suited for
still subjects, rather than moving ones.
