Taking 3D Pictures
The camera takes one picture for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional image
on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor.
• 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.
• Pictures taken in this mode are saved at an image size of n (1920 × 1080).
1 Set the shooting mode to 3D photography.
• See “Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to the Scene)” (A 40) for information about
setting the shooting mode to 3D photography.
2 Frame the subject and release
the shutter.
• The camera focuses at the center of
the frame. The focus area can be
changed with the touch shutter or
touch AF/AE option (A 38).
• The focus, exposure, and white
balance are locked after the first shot, and R is displayed on the monitor.
• The first picture is taken, and a translucent guide for taking the second picture is
displayed in the frame.
3 Move the camera horizontally to the
right until the guide is aligned with
the subject.
• To cancel shooting, tap H.
4 Wait for the camera to release the shutter with the subject aligned
with the guide.
• The camera automatically takes the second picture when it detects that the subject is
aligned with the guide.
• Shooting is canceled if the subject is not aligned with the guide within ten seconds.
