Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other

equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to

strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures

may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and

internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an

airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature

changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and

battery or power cord (if connected) from the camera and wait until

the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

Extended Storage

When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the

battery pack and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera

for extended periods with a battery pack installed will run down the

battery pack and may damage the camera. Please note, however, that

the date, time and other camera settings may reset to the default

settings if the battery pack has been removed for approximately three

weeks. Follow the instructions in this guide to reset the desired settings.

Shooting in Stitch Assist Mode

Stitch Assist mode can be used to shoot images, which overlap,

and which can later be merged to create one panoramic image

on a computer.

• To merge the images on the computer, use PhotoStitch, one of

the supplied programs.

Framing a Subject

The PhotoStitch program detects the overlapping portions of

adjoining images and merges them. When shooting, try to

include a distinctive item (landmark) in the overlapping portions.

• Compose each frame so that it overlaps 30 - 50% of the adjoining

image. Try to keep the vertical misalignment to less than 10% of

the image height.

• Do not include moving items in the overlap.

• Do not try to stitch images that include both distant and close

items. Objects may appear warped or doubled up.

The overlapping seams of

several adjacent images

can be joined into a single

panoramic image.

Shooting

• Shoot the first frame in the series.

• The exposure and white balance

settings are set and locked with the

first image. Successive images use

the same settings.

• Make the brightness in each image consistent. The final image

will appear unnatural if the difference in brightness is too great.

For good results, pan (swivel) the

camera to take successive shots.

To shoot close-ups, slide the camera

over the subject, keeping it parallel as

you move.
