Taking panoramic pictures
Use panorama to “stitch” up to 3 pictures into a panoramic scene.
NOTE: Individual picture sizes are approximately 3 MP (but may vary depending on scene content).
Individual pictures are not saved, even if panorama capture is cancelled before stitching occurs.
(Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Exposure Metering, AF Zone, AF Control, Color Mode, and
Sharpness are set with the first picture. The flash is set to Off.) You can use the self-timer (2- and
10-second delays) while taking panoramic pictures. See page 15.
1 Turn the Mode dial to Panorama .
2 Press to choose Panorama Left-Right or Panorama Right-Left (depending on
the direction you want to pan), then press OK.
3 Take the first picture.
After a quickview, the LCD or EVF displays the liveview and an “overlay” from the first
picture.
4 Compose the second picture. Make the overlay from the first picture cover the
same portion in the new picture.
5 If you are taking only 2 pictures, press OK to stitch them together.
After you take 3 pictures, the pictures are automatically stitched together.
Take 2 or 3 pictures.
Get 1 panoramic picture.
