B Notes About Taking 3D Pictures
In some shooting conditions, such as when the subject is moving, dark, or low in contrast, the
second shot may not be taken or the 3D image may not be saved.
B Playing Back 3D Images
• 3D images cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor. Only the left eye image of a 3D
image is displayed during playback.
• To view 3D images in 3D, a 3D-compatible TV or monitor is required. Use a 3D-compatible HDMI
cable to connect the camera and these devices (A81) for 3D viewing.
• When connecting the camera using an HDMI cable, set TV settings in the setup menu (A94) as
follows:
- HDMI: Auto (default setting) or 1080i
- HDMI 3D output: On (default setting)
• When the camera is connected via HDMI and images are played back, it may take a while to
display images when switching between 3D images and non-3D images. Playback zoom is not
possible while images are played back in 3D.
• Refer to the documentation included with the TV or monitor for details on how to make the settings.
B Caution for Viewing 3D Images
When viewing 3D images on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor for an extended period of time, you
may experience discomfort such as eye strain or nausea. Carefully read the documentation included
with your TV or monitor to ensure proper use.
s 3D photography
Use this mode for taking 3D pictures viewable in three dimensions on a 3D-compatible TV or
monitor. The camera captures one image for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional
image.
Images captured in this mode are saved at an image size of n (1920 × 1080).
• After taking the first picture by pressing the shutter-release button, move the camera
horizontally to the right so that the subject is aligned with the guide on the monitor. The
camera captures the second image automatically.
• The focus area can be moved from the center of the frame to a different position.
To move the focus area, before taking the first picture, press the k button, and then
rotate the multi selector or press H, I, J, or K.
To change settings for any of the following functions, first press the k button to cancel
focus-area selection, then change the settings as desired.
-Macro mode
- Exposure compensation
• The maximum telephoto zoom position is limited to an angle of view equivalent to that of
127 mm lens in 35mm [135] format.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Movies cannot be recorded in 3D.
• The two captured images are saved as a 3D image (MPO file) consisting of the left and
right eye images. The first image (the left eye image) is also saved as a JPEG file.
See “Using 3D Photography” (E5) for more information.
