Taking 3D Pictures

Connecting the COOLPIX S100 to a TV or Monitor for Playing 3D Pictures.

3D pictures taken on this camera can be played back in 3D only on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor.

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.

1Set HDMI 3D output (E91) to On (default setting) in TV settings in the setup menu (A88).

2Connect the camera to a 3D-compatible TV or monitor using a 3D-compatible HDMI cable (E35).

Refer to the documentation included with the TV or monitor for details on how to make the settings.

3Set the playback mode to 3D playback (A70)

Only 3D pictures are played back and output.

Playback zoom is not possible.

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.

BCaution for Viewing 3D Pictures

To play back 3D pictures in 3D on a 3D-compatinle TV or monitor via HDMI connection, a 3D-compatible HDMI cable is required.

Set HDMI (E91) in TV settings in the setup menu (A88) to Auto (default setting) or 1080i. If you select 480p or 720p, pictures cannot be played back in 3D and 3D playback (A70) cannot be selected.

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.

CTaking 3D Pictures

Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography. We recommend shooting still subjects.

Pictures have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and background is increased.

Pictures may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second picture is not aligned precisely.

Be careful of camera shake when shooting with a high zoom ratio.

Pictures taken under dim lighting may appear grainy with noise.

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.

If the camera does not take the second picture and cancels the shooting even when you align the guide with the subject, try shooting with the shutter-release button or touch shutter.
