Shooting images
Tips for shooting a panoramic image
• In Sweep Panorama, it is recommended that you use a wide-angle lens.
• When you use a lens that has a long focal length, pan or tilt the camera
more slowly than when you use a wide-angle lens.
• Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can
lock the focus, exposure, and white balance.
• If a section with greatly varied shapes or scenery is concentrated along a
screen edge, the image composition may fail. In such case, adjust the
frame composition so that the section is in the center of the image, then
shoot again.
• You can select the image size: MENU button t 2 t [Panorama:
Size].
To create 3D-images
Set the mode dial to (Sweep Shooting), select [3D Sweep Panorama],
and shoot the image. Using the same operation as that for Sweep Panorama,
the camera records multiple images and combines them to create a 3D-
image. You can view these 3D images using a 3D-compatible TV. For
details on 3D-shooting, see page 195.
To set the pan or tilt direction
You can set the direction in which to pan or tilt the camera.
MENU button t 2 t [Panorama: Direction] or [3D Pan.:
Direction] t Select the desired setting
Pan or tilt the camera in an arc with a
constant velocity and in the same
direction as the indication on the screen.
[Sweep Panorama] is better suited for
still subjects, rather than moving ones.
