Panoramic pictures are easy to take with the E-510.
The Olympus EVolt E-510 digital single lens reflex camera uses the four-thirds system. This innovation uses a slightly smaller sensor than the APS and full-size sensors in other SLR cameras. Because the sensor itself is smaller, it requires a smaller area of light from which to take the picture, making it possible for both lenses and cameras in this format to be more compact. Among other features, this DSLR offers a 10 megapixel sensor, built in flash, fast 1/4000 of a second shutter and a vast number of scene modes, which make it easy for anyone to operate this camera. One of its scene modes is "panorama," which allows photographers to easily take multi-shot panoramic images.
Instructions
1. Insert an Olympus brand xD picture card into the camera's xD flash memory slot.
2. Rotate the mode dial on the camera's top panel to its "scene" setting. A menu of options will appear on the camera's LCD screen. Use the directional keypad to scroll down to the "Panorama" mode and press the "OK" button to select it.
3. Use the directional pad to indicate in which direction you will be shooting by pressing the appropriate arrow. For instance, if you will be taking a number of pictures going from left to right, you should press the right arrow button.
4. Frame the first picture of your panorama in the Live View display on the camera's back panel LCD and press the shutter to take the picture. Move in the direction that you indicated and frame the second picture, having its edge overlap the previous picture. Press the shutter to expose the image. Continue repeating this process until you have photographed the entire panorama.
5. Press the camera's "OK" button when you are finished shooting your panorama.
