B Note on 3D Photography
The camera may be unable to take a second picture or save pictures taken, depending on a variety
of factors, for example, shooting a moving subject or a scene with low light or low contrast
conditions.
B Viewing 3D Photography
• 3D pictures cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor. Only the left eye image is
displayed during playback.
• To view 3D pictures in 3D, a 3D-compatible TV or monitor is required. 3D pictures can be played
back in 3D by connecting the camera to a 3D-compatible TV or monitor using a 3D-compatible
HDMI cable (A90).
• When connecting the camera using an HDMI cable, set the following for the TV settings in the
setup menu (A108).
- HDMI: Auto (default setting) or 1080i
- HDMI 3D output: On (default setting)
• When the camera is connected using an HDMI cable for playback, it may take a while to switch the
display between 3D pictures and non-3D pictures. The images played back in 3D cannot be
enlarged.
• See the documentation included with your TV or monitor to perform settings of the TV or monitor.
B Note on Viewing 3D Pictures
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.
y M s 3D photography
Use this mode for taking 3D pictures viewable in three dimensions on a 3D-compatible TV or
monitor. The camera takes one picture for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional image.
Pictures taken in this mode are saved with Normal as the image quality and
O 1920×1080 as the image size.
• 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 takes the second picture automatically.
• The focus area that the camera focuses on can be moved to areas other than at the
center of the frame. To move the focus area, press the k button before taking the first
picture, and then rotate the multi selector or press H, I, J, or K.
To adjust the following settings, press the k button to cancel the status in which the
focus area can be selected, and then perform each setting.
- Focus mode (A (Autofocus) or p (Macro close-up))
- Exposure compensation
• 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.
• The camera cannot record 3D movies.
• The two captured images are saved as a 3D picture (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” (E8) for more information.
