Panorama Mode allows you to shoot ultra wide panoramic shots. It allows you to create beautiful wide-view photos by stitching three images into a single panoramic picture. To use this mode, shift the dial to Panorama Mode. The screen will display 3 boxes with OK : SET icons. By using the Navigation Dial, use the option of shooting the picture either from the right or left side. Once the direction is decided, press FUNC OK button. Then, compose the picture, setting the first frame and pressing the shutter. Once the first picture is taken, you will notice that there is a dull outline of the first picture on the side of the screen, like a ghost image. Use this to capture the second and third pictures, making sure that the edges overlap.

SCN refers to the scenery Mode. It is one of the 12 modes you can set the camera to depending on the environment you are in. For example, if you are in a museum where flash photography is not allowed, your GE digital camera has a special museum mode which will allow you to take pictures unobtrusively and still get good results.

The date and time stamp in encoded within the file information of your picture, but it will only display on the camera screen. The time and date information will not display on the actual picture when printed, unless you are printing to a Pic-Bridge compatible printer which features the ability to print the time and date information.

The Manual Mode gives the user a lot of options to change the settings and take pictures. For example, the user can change the megapixel size up to a max of 7 mp for G1. Or can also take pictures in Black & White mode or Sepia to give the pictures a 'old time' look. It allows for a greater flexibility than in Auto Mode.

This could be caused by shaking of the hand or trying to capture an image for a fast moving object. If you are taking the picture with a fast moving object, please choose "SCN" -> "Sport" for this purpose. You could also use a tripod to minimize shaking.

The icon should be perfectly aligned with the green light indicator on the side. Sometimes, slight pressure applied on the dial will help.

It is not possible to change the lighting settings in the “Auto Mode”. In this mode, the camera is designed to make all of the decisions regarding picture quality and should work well in most situations. If you want to have more control of the picture quality elements, please use the “SCN Mode” or “Manual Mode.”

If you are already in a scene mode and you want to switch over to another (for eg: from Indoor to Leaf) you have to switch from the SCN mode to maybe Portrait / Anti shake and go back to SCN.

The best way to take sharp pictures in a low light environment is to use a tripod. In a low light environment the camera shutter remains open for a longer period of time. The seemingly insignificant act of pressing the shutter release while holding a camera in your hands can cause just enough movement to cause image blur. If a tripod is not available, try setting the camera on a table or other steady object, and using the cameras timer to release the shutter.
