When I try to shoot in PANORAMA scene, I get a message on the LCD screen that says “PANORAMA xD CARD REQUIRED.” Why?

The PANORAMA scene in the E-520 requires an Olympus xD-Picture Card memory card to function. When a series of panoramic shots are captured in the E-520, the images are tagged with information that the bundled OLYMPUS Master software uses to Auto-Stitch the images together into an almost seamless single image. There is software in the Olympus xD-Picture Card media that is part of the data algorithms the camera uses to save the images to the card as elements in a panoramic image. Therefore, non-Olympus xD-Picture Card, CompactFlash or Microdrive media will not enable the PANORAMA Scene.
