Shooting Features

Scene Mode (Shooting Suited to Scenes)

s3D photography

Use this mode for taking 3D pictures viewable in three dimensions on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor. The camera captures one image for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional image.

Images captured in this mode are saved at an image size of n (1920 × 1080).

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 captures the second image automatically.

The focus area can be moved from the center of the frame to a different position. To move the focus area, before taking the first picture, press the k button, and then rotate the multi selector or press H, I, J, or K.

To change settings for any of the following functions, first press the k button to cancel focus-area selection, then change the settings as desired.

-Macro mode

-Exposure compensation

The maximum telephoto zoom position is limited to an angle of view equivalent to that of 127 mm lens in 35mm [135] format.

The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image will be narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting.

Movies cannot be recorded in 3D.

The two captured images are saved as a 3D image (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” (E5) for more information.

BNotes About Taking 3D Pictures

In some shooting conditions, such as when the subject is moving, dark, or low in contrast, the second shot may not be taken or the 3D image may not be saved.

BPlaying Back 3D Images

3D images cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor. Only the left eye image of a 3D image is displayed during playback.

To view 3D images in 3D, a 3D-compatible TV or monitor is required. Use a 3D-compatible HDMI cable to connect the camera and these devices (A81) for 3D viewing.

When connecting the camera using an HDMI cable, set TV settings in the setup menu (A94) as follows:

-HDMI: Auto (default setting) or 1080i

-HDMI 3D output: On (default setting)

When the camera is connected via HDMI and images are played back, it may take a while to display images when switching between 3D images and non-3D images. Playback zoom is not possible while images are played back in 3D.

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

BCaution for Viewing 3D Images

When viewing 3D images 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.
