For Best Results
For best results, prop your elbows against your sides and move the camera slowly in a
small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera horizontal and being careful only to pan
in the direction shown by the guides. Use a tripod for best results. If the desired results
are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.
Panoramas are created from multiple frames; exposure for the entire panorama is
determined by the first frame. The camera may in some cases record an greater or
lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly. The last
part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends before the panorama is
complete.
Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Panning
the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to the
camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are in
constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked
changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.
