Attach the 3D interchangeable lens to the camera.

Bring the subject into the frame and record by pressing the shutter button fully.

Focusing is not required when recording 3D pictures.

Still pictures recorded with the 3D interchangeable lens attached are saved in MPO format (3D).

To ensure that the 3D pictures can be safely viewed, pay attention to the following points when recording.

Where possible, record with the unit in a horizontal state.

The suggested minimum subject distance is 0.6 m (1.97 feet).

Be careful not to shake the camera while in a vehicle or walking.

Note

You cannot record 3D pictures in vertical orientation.

It is recommended to use a tripod or a flash to record steady pictures.

When a distance to the subject is 0.6 m (1.97 feet) to approximately 1 m (3.29 feet), horizontal disparity becomes too great, and you may not see the 3D effect at the edges of the image.

Up to approx. 640 3D pictures can be recorded on a 2 GB card. (When the aspect ratio is set to

[X], and the quality is set to [ ].)

Read the operating instructions of the 3D interchangeable lens for details.
