memo• To cancel the 3D Image mode, change the 3D Image mode toanother 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 thesubject 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 tomove the camera.

● Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and crossmethodAs our eyes are positioned about 6~7cm apart, there is a veryslight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what
we see with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain
to produce a three-dimensional image. This principle is applied totaking and viewing 3D pictures.
3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left
and right lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a
distant scene, or the cross method where the left and right lines ofvision are crossed, as when you cross your eyes. A certain
amount of practice may be necessary to view 3D pictures without
using the viewer.
● How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer
Assemble the 3D image viewer supplied with the camera as
shown below.

Caution50

p.87 or p.102

As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person
to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a threedimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same
size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large orvery small. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.
• Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.
• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed todirect sunlight as this may lead to fire.
