Optimum distance from the subject to record 3D movies
The distance at which you can obtain good 3D movies varies depending on the zooming level.
Record 3D movies within these ranges.
Not recommended. The movie will be blurred.
The movie will seem 3-dimensional and realistic.
The movie will seem flat without a sense of depth.
Notes
If the movies appear doubled on the LCD screen, return the zoom to the original level.
A subj
ect within 30 cm (11 7/8 in.) away should be recorded in 2D.
Be sure to keep your finger on the power zoom lever. If you move your finger off the power zoom lever,
the operation sound of the power zoom lever may also be recorded.
You cannot change the zoom speed with the
/ button on the LCD screen.
The minimum possible distance between camcorder and subject while maintaining sharp focus is about 1
cm (about 13/32 in.) for wide angle and about 80 cm (about 31 1/2 in.) for telephoto (2D recording only).
During 2D recording, you can magnify images up to 10 times the original size using optical zooming,
unless [
SteadyShot] is set to [Active].
Further zooming: [Digital Zoom] (2D recording only) (p. 72)
