Tips for taking 3D Sweep Panorama™ photos
Note these limitations when taking 3D photos:
•3D shooting is not suitable when the subject is large or not stationary; when the main subject is too close to the camera; and when the subject offers little contrast, such as the sky, a sandy beach, or a lawn.
•3D images consist of several JPEG images and associated MPO files. If you delete an MPO file on the camera (while it is connected to a computer), you will no longer be able to view the associated JPEG image.
•If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given shooting time, a grey area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full 3D image.
•Under low light conditions, images may be blurred. To get the best results, shoot images in bright outside light.
•Under lights that flicker, such as flourescent lights, 3D shots may not be successful.
•When you tap the screen, you set the Auto Focus lock and the Auto Exposure lock. If the brightness, focus and other conditions change considerably between the time you set these two locks and the time you tap the screen to take the shot, the shot might not be successful.
•The camera may cancel 3D shooting in the following situations: you pan the camera too quickly; you shake the camera too much; you pan the camera in the reverse direction.
