3D Sweep Panorama

Allows you to create a 3D image from composed images.

• If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the 

composed image. We recommend you pan the camera 180 degrees within about six seconds when using 
an E18 – 55 mm lens at the wide end (18 mm) for better results. You should pan the camera slower with 
the telephoto side of the lens.

• If you shoot a 3D image with T side of a zoom lens, a gray area may occur more often, or shooting may 

be stopped. It is recommended to use a zoom lens with W side.

• The camera continues shooting during [3D Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter keeps clicking 

until the end of the shooting.

• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
• Under low light conditions, 3D panoramic images may be blurred.
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not 

always the same.

• When the whole angle of 3D panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure 

(AE/AF lock) by pressing the shutter button halfway down are extremely different in brightness, color 
and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.

• [3D Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting:

– Subjects are moving.
– Subjects are too close to the camera.
– Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy 

beach, or lawn.

– Subjects with constant change such as waves or water falls.
– Subjects with the sun or electric lights, etc. that are much brighter than surroundings.

• [3D Sweep Panorama] recording may be discontinued in the following situations:

– You pan the camera too fast or too slow.
– There is too much camera shake.

• A 3D image consists of both JPEG and MPO files. If you delete either the JPEG file or the MPO file 

comprising a 3D image, that 3D image may not be played back.

• You can pan the camera in the horizontal direction only when shooting 3D Sweep Panorama images.

2 Point the camera at the edge of the subject, 

then press the shutter button fully down.

This part will not be taken.

3 Pan the camera to the end, following the 

guidance on the LCD monitor.
