Panoramic Shot

The panorama is created by combining shots captured in continuous shooting as you move the camera in one direction while pressing the shutter button completely.

  1. Choose a shooting direction.

    • Tap [Shooting direction] in the lower right to choose the shooting direction.
    • An arrow is displayed showing the direction to move the camera.

  2. Press the shutter button halfway.

    • Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, focus on the subject.

  3. Shoot.

    • Press the shutter button completely and move the camera at a constant speed in the direction of the arrow.
    • The area displayed clearly (1) is captured.
    • A shooting progress indicator (2) is displayed.
    • Shooting stops when you release the shutter button, or when all of the progress indicator is white.

Caution

  • For details on lenses that can counteract blur from swinging the camera, visit the Canon website ().
  • In some scenes, images you intended to capture may not be saved as expected, and the panorama may not look as expected.
  • Shooting may stop midway if you move the camera too slowly or quickly. However, the panorama created up to that point will still be saved.

  • In consideration of the large sizes of Panoramic shot mode images, use a computer or other device to reduce panorama images if you will print them from a memory card inserted in a Canon printer.

    If panoramas are not compatible with certain software or online services, try resizing them on a computer.

  • Shots of the following subjects and scenes may not be combined correctly.

    • Subjects in motion
    • Subjects at close range
    • Scenes where the contrast varies greatly
    • Scenes with long stretches of the same color or pattern, such as the sea or sky
  • Shooting is not affected by any correction applied to counteract blur from swinging the camera.
  • Move the camera slowly when using a lens with a long focal length, or when shooting night scenes or under low light.
