B Caution for 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.

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 at an image size of n (1920 × 1080).
• After taking the first picture using the shutter-release button or touch shutter, 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 camera focuses at the center of the frame for the first shot. The focus area can be
changed with the touch shutter or touch AF/AE option (A 38).
The focus, exposure, and white balance set for the first shot are used for the second shot.
• Digital zoom is not available.
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be
narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.
• 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.
• 3D pictures cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor. Only the left eye image
of a 3D picture is displayed during playback.
• To view 3D pictures in 3D, connect the camera to a 3D-compatible TV or monitor using a
3D-compatible HDMI cable and set the playback mode to 3D playback (A 70). Only 3D
pictures are played back and output.
• Once an HDMI cable is connected, 3D pictures are output (played back) in 3D even when
3D playback is not selected. However, it may take a while to display pictures when
switching between 3D pictures and non-3D pictures.
• See “Taking 3D Pictures” (E 8) for more information.
