Tips
- Swivel the camera around its center when moving it in the
recording direction. Hold the camera with both hands, taking
care not to shake it.
- If the camera shakes too much, it may not be able to take
pictures or may end up creating a narrow (small) panorama
picture.
- Pan the camera to a point slightly ahead of the point that
you want to take. However, the last frame is not recorded to
the end.
- If you change the facial expression or blink, the recorded
picture may look unnatural. Try to stay still.
Note
- Since the distance between the camera and subject is close
when you take panorama pictures in Self Shot Mode, the edges of
the pictures may appear significantly distorted.
