Snapshot Tutorial
With Slide Panorama, you move the camera to compose
and record multiple images, which are then combined to a
panorama. This feature lets you shoot a panorama of up to
360 degrees, which is dramatically greater than the physical
capabilities of the lens.
• The final panorama image can be one of the two sizes shown below.
Slide Direction is Right or Left: Maximum 11520
x
1080 pixels
Slide Direction is Up or Down: Maximum 1920
x
7296 pixels
• Zoom operations are not supporting during Slide Panorama shooting. The zoom
setting is fixed at full wide angle.
• You can use Slide Panorama to shoot a horizontal image up to approximately 360
degrees and a vertical image up to approximately 180 degrees.
If you shoot a horizontal Slide Panorama image that is less than 360 degrees, the
image size will become 60, 120, 180, 240, or 300 degrees.
1. In the REC mode, set the mode dial to s (Slide Panorama).
2. Press [SET] and then use [8] and [2] to select the fifth Control Panel
option from the bottom (Slide Direction).
3. Use [4] and [6] to select the direction you are planning to move the
camera while shooting, and then press [SET].
You can select one of four directions: Right, Left, Up, or Down.
4. Point the camera at the start of the panorama and half-press the
shutter button to allow the camera to focus automatically.
5. Press the shutter button the rest of the way down
and a slide cursor will appear on the monitor
screen. Slowly move the camera in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the screen until the
slide cursor reaches the other end of its
movement range (i.e. all the way to the right
when moving the camera to the right).
• The camera will start composing the panorama image
internally when the slide cursor reached the other end
of the movement range.
• Image composing also will start automatically if you stop moving the camera
during panorama shooting. After you stop moving the camera, the message
“Busy... Please wait...” appears as the camera processes the image. Wait until
this message disappears before using the camera. Image shooting is disabled
while the message is displayed.
