Using Automatic Panorama in Creative mode

Pan up to 180 degrees horizontally or up to 120 degrees vertically. The camera takes several pictures, then "stitches" them into a single, wide image.

Choose the direction of panning

  1. Turn the Mode dial to Creative mode .

  2. Press and to highlight Automatic Panorama, then press OK.

  3. The default panning direction is Left-to-Right. To change it:

    • Press to highlight the Automatic Panorama icon, then press OK.

    • Press for Right-to-Left, Bottom-to-Top, or Top-to-Bottom. Then press OK.

Take the picture

For best results, set the lens to wide angle (no zoom). Choose stationary subjects.

  1. At your starting point, press the Shutter button halfway down to focus and set the exposure, then press completely down and hold it.

  2. Keeping the Shutter button pressed, slowly pan or tilt in the direction you selected.



  3. Release the Shutter button when the LCD displays "Processing."

    The camera automatically stops recording images when a certain number of pixels is reached. This equates to approximately 180 degrees horizontally or 120 degrees vertically. (You might capture more or less, depending on scene content.)

    NOTE: If the scene contains an uninterrupted expanse of similar pixels—such as a plain, white wall—the camera may interpret this as the same group of pixels and abbreviate the wall in the final image.

  4. When finished, turn the Mode dial to another mode.
