Scene Mode (Shooting Suited toScenes)
SCENE-) 3D3D ph0t0graphy
• The camera takes one picture for each eye to simulate a threedimensional image on a
3D-compatibJe TV or monitor.
• After pressing the shutter-release button to shoot the first _ _
frame, move the camera horizontally to the right until the
guide on the screen overlaps the subject.
The camera automaticaJ]y captures the second image
when it detects that the subject is aligned with the guide.
Guide
• You can move the focus area that the camera focuses on. Press the _) button and then
rotate the multi selector or press A, V, • or • to move the focus area. To adjust the
following settings, press the _) button to temporarily cancel focus area selection, and
then adjust each setting.
- Focus mode (AF (autofocus) or _,A(macro dose-up))
- Exposure compensation
• The focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed when the first frame is shot, and
_[_IL is displayed on the screen.
• The angle of view (i.e.,the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower
than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Pictures taken in this mode are saved with Normal as the image quality and
I_ 1920x1080 as the image size.
• The two captured images are saved as a 3D image (MPO file). The first image (the left eye
image) is also saved as a JPEGfile.
Notes on 3D Photography
• Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography.
• Pictures have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and subject is
increased.
• Pictures may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second picture
is not aligned precisely,
• Pictures taken under dim lighting may appear grainy with noise.
• The telephoto zoom position is restricted to an angle of view equivalent to that of about 135 m m
lens in 35mm [135] format,
• The operation is canceled when the _) button is pressed after shooting the first frame or the
camera cannot detect that the guide is on the subject within 10 seconds.
• If the camera does not take the second picture and cancels the shooting even when you align the
guide with the subject, try shooting with the shutter release button.
• This camera cannot record 3D movies.
