artificial light, sunlight, etc.
– Rivers, waves, waterfalls, or other subject with constantly changing patterns
– Sky, beach, or other subject with continuous patterns

– Subject or camera movement
– Camera movement that is too fast or too slow
– Camera movement outside of the required route
– Camera movement in the wrong direction
• Shooting a Wide Shot image after half-pressing the shutter button to perform Auto
Focus may not produce the desired results if there are considerable differences in
the brightness, color, and/or focus of the individual images. If this happens, try
changing the focus position by focusing on a different subject, etc.
• Since a Wide Shot image is created by joining multiple images together, there may
be some roughness at the point where two images are joined.
• Shooting under a flickering light source (such as fluorescent lighting) may result in
uneven brightness and/or coloring in the final Wide Shot image.
• Shooting in dark surroundings may result in a blurred image or may make Wide
Shot shooting impossible.
• Slowly move the camera at a constant speed in the same direction as the arrow
that appears on the monitor screen.
• The exposure and white balance when shooting Wide Shot images are fixed at the
levels measured when you half-press the shutter button at the beginning of the
operation.
• An error message will appear if the camera is unable to successfully record a
series of images.
• If you shoot a moving subject, the camera may not be able to compose the super-
wide image properly.
• Super-wide may not produce the desired results when shooting at close distances
to the subject.
• With this BEST SHOT scene, the flash setting automatically becomes ? (Flash
Off).
