Taking Pictures
4
7 Press the OK button.
The screen for taking the first image appears in the left half of the LCD
monitor.
8 Take the first image.
Hold the camera so that the subject is in the
middle of the left half of the screen and
press the shutter release button. The image
is displayed in the left half of the LCD
monitor. The right half of the screen is for
taking the second image.
9 Move the camera to the right
without changing your stance.
10 Take the second image.
Make sure that the subject is in the middle
of the right half of the screen
and press the shutter release button.
• To cancel the 3D image mode change to another Capture mode.
• 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.
