Q Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases record 
an greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together 
perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends 
before the panorama is complete.
 
Q Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. 
Panning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.
 
Q The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to 
the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are 
in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked 
changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.
  For Best Results  For Best Results
For best results, move the camera in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the 
camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the 
guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.

 N N Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash) Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the flash is used, the camera’s Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes 
the scene based on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position 
in the frame, and its distance from the camera.  Flash output and sensitivity are 
adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while preserving 
the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes.  
Use the flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or 
indoors under low light.
Press the selector right (N) and choose from the 
following flash modes:
