1 Set the DIAL (IRIS/CONV.) selector switch to CONV.

With this setting, the camera will adjust the convergence point (depth of the reference plane for the 3D image) according to the setting of the IRIS/CONV. dial.

2 Turn the IRIS/CONV. dial to adjust the convergence point.Tips on convergence point adjustmentUsing the MIX button

If you press the MIX button, the image from the left lens and that from the right lens are superimposed on the LCD monitor and viewfinder (MIX image).

Turn the IRIS/CONV. dial so that the outline of the subject at the reference plane from the left lens is completely aligned with that from the right lens.

• The left and right images will not be perfectly aligned if the subject is located at a distance of less than 2.2 m.

• The MIX image does not affect the recorded image.

• The MIX image is cancelled when the display status is changed, for example, when a menu is changed or REC CHECK is performed.

3D guide function

If you press the 3D GUIDE button, the viewfinder and the LCD monitor display a guide for the distance range within which the camera can shoot the subject so as to comfortably reproduce a 3D image. The 3D guide display (Page 69) changes as follows each time you press the 3D GUIDE button: no display Guide display 1 Guide display 2 no display…

When shooting, select the guide display according to the size of monitor you intend to use for viewing.

Guide display 1 (3D indication in white): Target monitor screen size is less than 77‑type.

Guide display 2 (3D indication in green):

Target monitor screen size is 77‑type or greater.

3D GUIDE button

• If you shoot a subject beyond the distance range shown by the guide display, a double image or strangeness feeling may be produced, or the shot image may not be reproduced as a 3D image correctly.

• If the subject is outside the distance range shown by the guide display, readjust the convergence point so that the subject goes within the distance range of the guide display.

Convergence display

If you set CONVERGENCE to ON, on the setup menu DISPLAY SETUP screen (Page 81), the convergence display indicates the distance between the camera and the adjusted reference plane as C00 to C99. The larger the number, the greater the distance to the reference plane.
