WB2000(TL350) Function – 02. Panorama Action

Following is a panorama action shot from WB2000 digital camera. http://www.samsungimaging.net/2011/04/14/wb2000tl350-function-02-panorama-action/

Hi there! This is Amanda.

Having fun with the WB2000 camera? :-) Today, I want to go over the Panorama function. The Panorama function on the WB2000 offers more than the traditional Panorama function. Want the details? Let’s go over it one by one. First, let’s take a look at how to set the Panorama function. Set the mode dial to SCN mode.

Use the scroll to move to Panorama mode.

With the shutter pressed down, slowly move the camera to capture the scene you want. A line indicates that the shooting is underway.

Well, this alone is not that different from other cameras with Panorama function. So then, how is the Panorama Action function different from an ordinary function? If the Panorama function typically connects a widespread landscape, Panorama Action captures the movement of people and objects with the landscape as background and expresses in one screen. Coming back to the main point, let’s take a look at setting the Panorama Action function. Click on the Panorama Action icon on the Scene mode.

Do you see the icon in the red circle on the right hand side? This indicates that the camera is set to Panorama Action mode.

If you are ready, slowly follow the moving object.

Voila! The result! Isn’t it fascinating? Wasn’t it so easy?!

For Panorama Action, be mindful of the following three things:

1. Outcome is better if the moving object moves at constant speed.


2. If possible, move the camera in one direction. Moving the camera up and down will not work so well, don’t you think?


3. With Panorama mode, shooting options will be limited.

So, how was it? Are you dying to try out the Panorama function? Get your friends or family involved for more fun! My third post will be on ‘Smart Filter.’ Until then, say cheese~

Small, but Powerful Digital Camera WB2000

Following is a part of the long review of WB2000 from NoteForum.
Here is the link to the source. http://www.samsungimaging.net/2011/01/13/small-but-powerful-digital-camera-wb2000/





Only a few years ago, the performance and various functions were the key to succeeding in the market, but these days, design and mobility should also be considered. The performance gets higher, while the size of the product gets smaller increasing the mobility. Companies will keep trying to please their customers.

The WB2000 from Samsung has both great mobility and performance. Unlike most other digital cameras which happen to be mobile or to have great performance. As the highest Samsung camera from the WB series, it supports differentiated functions such as Panorama and powerful Full HD movie recording.

Like the previous WB1000, it has style and a sensible design. Let’s take a look at the design, functions, and performance, through this review.

Because I review a product that is not an official release, the specifications might be different from the official release.






It is 99.5 x 59 x 21.7 mm and weights 152g, which lets it be very mobile. Normally, a camera with this great of mobility has only a few good functions with a relatively low performance. However, the WB2000 supports perfect manual shooting and great picture/movie quality even with the small size. I think the mobility is the biggest advantage of the WB2000.

NX10 can create a Panoramic photo?

Following is an instruction how to make a panorama photo using a Samsung NX10 camera.

Some people might think you need a special camera or a special function to create panoramic photos. But in fact, all you need is a set of photos and some software that can merge these photos.

If you want to take panoramic photos with the NX10, it’s important that the photos can align properly. There are two conditions you need to pay attention to.

First of all, you will want the same exposure settings in every photo. This way, all the photos will be equally bright or dark, and you will not get strange brightness variations in your merged panoramic photo. The NX10 has a handy button to help you with this. When you have a scene in front of you, and you press the AEL button (Auto Exposure Lock), the camera will store the lighting condition of the scene shown in your viewfinder. This will be indicated on the back display with the green letters AEL. When you move your camera to a different scene, it will still use the lighting conditions as stored when you pressed AEL. However, after you take the following photo, the light conditions will be reset.

This might be annoying you think, as you will want to take more than one photo for the panoramic photo. However, the second thing you need to pay attention to is the fact that you use the same focal distance in all of your photos. When using the auto focus mode, you can achieve the same focal distance by keeping the shutter button half pressed after taking a photo. The auto focus system will not pick a new focus then, but instead use the focal distance from the previous photo. When using the manual focus mode, you could release the shutter button completely, as the focus will remain the same unless you change it manually.
But this is where the crucial trick is and how the two conditions above are combined. After picking a lighting scene with the AEL button, you can take a first photo. But instead of releasing the shutter button after this photo, you will need to keep it pressed halfway. You will notice the focus won’t change BUT as you can see, the green AEL letters also remain on the display. Bingo! :)

To put it another way: as long as you don’t fully release the shutter button, the AEL and focus settings will be re-used, photo after photo.

Now we can start the preparations of our panoramic photo. In the example below, I took nine photos of a scene around The Great Buddha of Kamakura. When the lighting conditions are varied, it’s important to decide which part of the panoramic photo you want to look well exposed. I wanted the ground level to be well exposed. Since it’s darker than the sky, this will result in a sky that is overexposed. But since the Buddha is dark and the light comes from behind him, overexposing him slightly seems like a good idea.

Samsung NX10 │ 1/200s │ f/2.8 │ ISO 100 │ 30.0mm

Below are the nine photos I took:

To combine these photos, you will need some panorama stitching or merging software. Most programs will be clever enough to find out where the various photos should be aligned and merged, and in most cases you will end up with a result as shown below.

If you want, you can cut off the wonky edges in a photo editing program by applying a crop to the whole photo. The final result is a perfect panoramic photo!

All done! Good luck with your works!
