Precautions on viewing stereoscopic 3D images
●Do not view stereoscopic 3D images if you have a history of photosensitivity, heart disease or poor health. This may cause the symptoms to worsen.
●If you experience any health problems such as fatigue and discomfort while viewing stereoscopic 3D images, immediately discontinue viewing. Continuing viewing after symptoms appear may cause health risks. Take a break until the symptoms have completely disappeared.
●Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.
●When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may cause visual strain.
