The image of the first picture is dis-
	31
played to the left half screen of the
LCD monitor, and the right half
screen is for taking the second pic-
ture.

mMove the camera to the right without changing your stance.

,Take the second picture while watching the capture guide.

Hold the camera so that the subject is in the center of the right half screen, and press the shutter release button.

. Press the Playback/OK button. The first and second images are displayed to the left and right screens respectively.

Taking	memo	• To cancel the 3D Image mode, change the 3D Image mode to
		another Capture mode.
Pictures		• 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 sec-
		ond picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the pic-
		tures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
		• As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the dis-
		tance 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 dif-
		fers from person to person, there is no need to be too con-
		cerned. 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	5m
		Camera movement	0.5 cm	1 cm	1.5 cm	2.5 cm	7.5 cm	13 cm

●Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross

method

As our eyes are positioned about 6~7cm apart, there is a very slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing 3D pictures.

3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.

●How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer

Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as shown below.
