NOTE

Since the digital zoom mode magnifies the image by cropping it,

there is less information and the file is smaller. It’s best to print

the image in a smaller format, such as 4

Taking Panoramic Pictures

Images in the panorama mode are long and narrow, although

they are not captured at a wider angle than normal images.

Strips at the top and bottom of the image area are cropped

out. The resulting smaller image sizes mean you can store

more pictures in the panorama format.

You can take panoramic pictures using any user mode.

Follow these steps:

Turn the camera dial to

You see the View menu. The current frame setting

appears in the bottom right corner.

NOTE

This View menu illustrates what you see if your user mode is

set to Program. Your View menu will look different if the

user mode is set to Manual or Full Auto.

Press the button next to the frame setting to cycle

through the frame settings until you see the

(panorama) setting.
