the capabilities of traditional wide-angle lenses
to capture stunningly expansive shots. Simply

horizontally or vertically over your desired
scene. The camera shoots continuously at a
high speed, automatically adjusts the position
of each image, then seamlessly stitches up
to 100 pictures together into one panoramic

this feature lets you take panoramic shots up to
an amazing 224 degrees.

a tripod

images in a fraction of a second with one
press of the shutter, combining the data from
all six to create a single image of extraordinary
detail and low noise.

moving subjects

a fraction of a second using a higher shutter
speed. The camera then combines the data
from all six images to create a single photo of
extraordinary detail with minimal blur.
