3D Sweep Panorama
Allows you to create a 3D image from composed images.
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the
composed image. We recommend you pan the camera 180 degrees within about six seconds when using
an E18 – 55 mm lens at the wide end (18 mm) for better results. You should pan the camera slower with
the telephoto side of the lens.
If you shoot a 3D image with T side of a zoom lens, a gray area may occur more often, or shooting may
be stopped. It is recommended to use a zoom lens with W side.
The camera continues shooting during [3D Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter keeps clicking
until the end of the shooting.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
Under low light conditions, 3D panoramic images may be blurred.
Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
When the whole angle of 3D panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure
(AE/AF lock) by pressing the shutter button halfway down are extremely different in brightness, color
and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.
[3D Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting:
Subjects are moving.
Subjects are too close to the camera.
Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy
beach, or lawn.
Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
Subjects with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than surroundings.
[3D Sweep Panorama] recording may be discontinued in the following situations:
You pan the camera too fast or too slow.
There is too much camera shake.
A 3D image consists of both JPEG and MPO files. If you delete either the JPEG file or the MPO file
comprising a 3D image, that 3D image may not be played back.
You can pan the camera in the horizontal direction only when shooting 3D Sweep Panorama images.
