yMs 3D photography

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 with Normal as the image quality and

O1920×1080 as the image size.

After taking the first picture by pressing the shutter-release button, 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 angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.

The camera cannot record 3D movies.

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. See “Using 3D Photography“ (E8) for more information.
