Use the arrow pad to specify at which edge you want to connect the pictures, and
then compose your shots so that the edges of the pictures overlap. The part of
the previous picture where it will be joined to the next picture does not remain in
the frame. You have to remember what the part in the frame looked like and take
the next picture so it overlaps.
Panorama shooting is possible for up to 10 pictures. Press Q to exit panorama
