∫ About playback
Pressing 3 will start scrolling playback automatically in the
same direction as the recording.
• The following operations can be performed during scrolling
playback.
• The lens’ zoom function is fixed to the shortest (wide) focal length.
• The focus, white balance, and exposure settings are fixed at the optimum values for the first
picture. As a result, if the subjects’ position relative to the camera or brightness change
substantially during recording, the entire panorama picture may not be recorded with
appropriate focus or brightness settings.
• When an image effect is added, the White Balance is fixed to [AWB].
• When multiple pictures are combined to create a single panorama picture, the subject may
appear distorted or seams between the stitched pictures may be noticeable in some cases.
• The resolution in the horizontal and vertical directions of the panorama picture varies
depending on the recording direction and the number of combined pictures. The maximum
resolution is shown below.
• [Shutter Type] is fixed to [AUTO].
• A panorama picture may not be able to be created, or the pictures may not be combined
properly when recording the following subjects or under the recording conditions below.
– Subjects with a single, uniform color or repetitive pattern (such as the sky or a beach)
– Moving subjects (persons, animals, cars, waves, flowers blowing in the breeze, etc.)
– Subjects whose color or patterns change in a short time (such as an image appearing on a
display)
– Dark places
