Taking pictures
Press the Menu / Fn button or change the 3D image mode to another
Capture mode to cancel the 3D image mode.
A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two images are
taken in widely different positions (heights) or are not straight. When taking a
person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as possible
and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the
pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance
between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is 3m
away, the distance the camera should be moved will be
3m ÷ 40=7.5cm.
However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs from
person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer to the table
below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.
Distance to subject 0.1 m 0.3 m 0.5 m 1 m 3 m 5 m
Camera movement 0.5 cm 1 cm 1.5 cm 2.5 cm 7.5 cm 13 cm
