3D Sweep Panorama

Allows you to create a 3D image from composed images.

3D images shot in [3D Sweep Panorama] mode of this camera can be played back only

on a 3D TV. The recorded images are played back as normal still images on the LCD

monitor of this camera and a non-3D TV.

• You m ay feel uncomfortable symptoms such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired feeling while watching 3D
images recorded with the camera on 3D compatible monitors. When you watch 3D images, we
recommend that you take a break at regular time intervals. Since the n eed for or frequency of break times
varies between individuals, please set your own st andards. If you feel sick, st op watching 3D images, and
consult a doctor as needed. Also, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device or the
software used with the camera. A child's vision is always vulnerable (especia lly for children under six
years of age). Before allowing them to watch 3D images, please consult with an e xpert, such as a
pediatric or ophthalmic doctor. Make sure your children follow the pr ecautions above.
• If yo u cannot pan the camera across the entire subject wit hin the given time, a gray area occurs in the
composed image. We recommend you pan the camera 180 degrees within about 6 s econds when using an
E18 – 55 mm lens at the wide end (18 mm) for better resul ts. You should pan the camera slo wer with the
telephoto side of the lens.
• Wh en you select [Wide] in [Image Size], you may not be able to pan the cam era across the entire subject
within the given time. In such cases, we recommend that you select [Standard] or [16:9] in [Image Size].
• If yo u shoot a 3D image with T side of a zoom lens, a gray area ma y occur more often, or shooting may
be stopped. It is recommended to use a zoom lens with W side.
• The camera continues shooting during [3D Sweep Pa norama] recording, and the shutter keeps clickin g
until the end of the shooting.
• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
• Under low light conditions, 3D panoramic images may be blurred.
• Un der lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightnes s or color of the combined im age is not
always the same.
When the whole angle of 3D panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure
(AE/AF lock) by pressing the shutter button halfway down are extremely different in brightness, color
and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock a ngle and shoot again.
• [3D Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting:
– Subjects are moving.
– Subjects are too close to the camera .
– Subjects with a repeating pattern suc h as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky , sandy
