Tell me a little about this camera's panoramic scene mode?

The motion panorama mode of this camera is a total blast! You can select the angle of the panorama (120,180 or 360 degrees) and the direction (left to right, right to left, up todown, down to up). Once you press the shutter button the camera starts to shoot the panorama just by sweeping it in the chosen direction, while there is an onscreen guide line to help you with the whole process (so as to keep the camera level and not to move too fast or too slow). That's it, the panorama is ready, with none whatsoever stitch marks and no need for additional editing software. Hope this helps!

it is a great camera, but I dont think it will do panorama shots. There is a program that will seem two or three shots into one. Pretty incredible.

I think it can do 12 fast shots. But now when I was playing with other cameras I want fast and panoramic setting also. I think I will wait for a model to come along.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

I've taken some amazing photos in the macro mode of roses etc. Not sure exactly what your specifications are but it worked well for my amature pix.

The zoom is amazing. As for wide its goes wide like other cameras. But doesnt do any kind of panoramic that i can tell. Just put it on a stand and turn camera slightly after each shot and you can make your own panoramic.

I don't often use auto mode but have never had any problems with image quality when I have. Took it to Dubai a couple of years ago and did a series of images (in auto mode) for a panorama. Stitched them and made a 39" X 9" panoramic print from the images that came out great.

It has two viewfinders, screen on the back that pivots (great for selfies) and an eyepiece when it's too bright.I really like this camera.

Its, very good, its sharp. It has a panoramic shot, I use it very often. Also you can take a picture while you are recording. The camera has 8 megapixels and the front camera 1.3

I have never had a similar problem when shooting in normal mode, BUT i did notice when shooting in HDR mode it drained the battery quickly and processed pretty slowly. I suspect the same is true for Panorama mode. I suspect both of these modes use a lot of processing power. I ended up taking it off of HDR mode and didn't have any problems. I bought a second battery from a guy on craigslist and like having a back-up, but that is more for when we haven't charged it for a while. I'm not sure if I did a firmware update or not.

There is no zoom or pan. You can move the camera manually if you wish to view a different area of the room but pretty much where you have it set is where it stays.

It does have Panorama mode, left to right or right to left. You can make it two panes or three. It puts up a muted image on one side of the new image to help you. Stitching is super fast and always very accurate. I found a two pane pano was really nice. It fit well onto a Facebook post and helped differentiate my photos.

Im sorry. Anamorphic is the 3rd view. Not panoramic. My bad. I just went back and checked because I thought there was 4 settings. There is 16:9, 4:3, auto and anamorphic settings. Hope this helps.

It has a panoramic button. You just move the camera as you are taking the picture. I never used it, but want to this summer. Hope this helps.

Yes it does a very good job of capturing the panoramic shots. It is never blurry.

I agree with Lynn C.'s remark, including the reference to flash. But I love this camera, which I've had for more than two years. I've also given away a couple of Panasonic models very similar to this, but with less optical zoom power.
