A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two images are taken in widely different positions (heights) or are not straight. When taking a person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It is easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.

As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is 3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be 3m÷40=7.5cm.

However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs from person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.
