the time of shooting,
• If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too uniform (e,g. walls or
darkness), an error may occur.
• if shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the halfway point in the panorama range, a
panorama image is not saved,
• if more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before reaching the edge
of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed in gray.
