I first met the Sony Cybershot DSC-WX1 at Langkawi, where I had loads of fun with the Sweep Panorama feature! Here it is doing down-to-up but turned sideways to do right-to-left instead. Note the artifacts that may happen with close objects if they are at the end of the arc.

At the same time, if there is motion in a scene, like people walking, they can be compressed or expanded.

This time it was turned the other way – left-to-right. I first stood in place on the left, then ran behind the camera and reappeared on the right before the arc finished. Thanks Huei for taking this shot!

In standard right-to-left mode, and pulled right-to-left, it tends to have too wide an aspect ratio to be displayed nicely as a thumbnail. So click on the picture – all images can be clicked on for a glorious larger version!

Finally, with the right speed and distance, you can replicate a subject across the frame! I’m not sure who took this shot, though.
