Allows you to create a panoramic image from composite images. The camera also automatically detects people’s faces or moving subjects.

1. Set the mode switch to (iSweep Panorama).

A: This part will not be recorded.

4. Pan the camera to the end of the guide (B), following the indication on the screen.

Tips for shooting a panorama image

Pan the camera in an arc at a constant velocity in the direction indicated on the screen. Subjects at rest are more suited for panorama shots than moving subjects. Radius as short as possible.

Vertical direction

61

Horizontal direction

First, press the shutter button halfway so that you can lock the focus and exposure. Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan or tilt the camera. 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.

To shoot a 360 degree panoramic image

This camera is equipped with a panorama shooting function, capable of shooting a near-full 360 degree panoramic image. Shoot a panoramic image by selecting MENU

set [Panorama Image Size] to [360°]. Recorded

panoramic images can be scrolled accurately when played on the camera.

Select a shooting direction with / . You cannot shoot a panoramic image in a vertical direction with [Panorama Image Size] set to [360°].

The image actually recorded may not cover 360 degrees, depending on the subject or the way it is shot.

Notes

If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full panorama image. Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly. When the whole angle of panoramic shooting and the AE/AF locked angle are very different in brightness, color and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change AE/AF locked angle and shoot again. You cannot create panorama images in the following situations:

You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.

There is too much camera shake.
