Using 3D Photography
Reference Section
B Taking 3D Pictures
• Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography. We recommend shooting still subjects.
• Pictures have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and background is
increased.
• Pictures may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second picture
is not aligned precisely.
• Be careful of camera shake when shooting at the telephoto zoom position.
• The telephoto zoom position is restricted to an angle of view equivalent to that of about 135 mm
lens in 35mm [135] format.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be narrower than
that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Pictures taken under dim lighting may appear grainy with noise.
• If the camera does not take the second picture and cancels the shooting even when you align the
guide with the subject, try shooting with the shutter-release button.
B Notes on Viewing 3D Pictures
• 3D pictures cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor. See “Viewing 3D Photography”
(A53) for more information.
• When viewing 3D pictures 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.
