Notes about easy panorama shooting
•
T
he range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen on the screen
at the time of shooting.
•
If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too uniform
(e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur.
•
If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the panorama
range, a panorama image is not saved.
•
If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before reaching
the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed in gray.
