Nintendo 3DS XL Operation Manual page 31

3D images can't be seen or are difficult to see.
• Make sure you are not using Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi software, which do not support 3D image display.
• Make sure the software you are using includes 3D images. Some software includes both 2D and 3D imagery. Check other software
that includes 3D images.
• Make sure the 3D depth slider is not set all the way to the bottom of its range (in the off position).
• Make sure that the Super-Stable 3D feature is on (page 42).
• Make sure you are holding the system in the proper position to best view 3D images (page 20).
• If your left and right eyes have different visual abilities, this can make 3D images difficult to see. If you use corrective eye wear,
they may help you to see 3D images.
• Make sure that the upper screen, inner camera, and infrared LED are clean. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth if necessary.
• Make sure you are not using software that uses the cameras, as this will deactivate the 3D feature.
• Screen protectors may make 3D images more difficult to see. Make sure you are using a licensed screen protector and have
installed it correctly.
• Avoid conditions where direct sunlight or other strong light is reflecting off the screen.
• Make sure that this feature is not restricted by Parental Controls. If this is the case, you can either enter a PIN to temporarily turn
off Parental Controls, or you can reconfigure Parental Controls. See Parental Controls in System Settings for more information
(page 39).
• Be aware that 3D images can only be displayed on the upper screen.
NOTE: The ability to view 3D images varies from individual to individual. In rare cases, some individuals may be unable to see
3D images or may only be able to see double images. If this is the case, the 3D screen should be set to display 2D images only by
sliding the 3D depth slider all the way to the bottom of its range.
WARNING: The 3D feature is only for children 7 and older.
About Super-Stable 3D and facial recognition
The Super-Stable 3D feature and certain software titles use the cameras to recognize facial features. Observe the guidelines below to
increase the accuracy of facial recognition.
• The surrounding environment, the color
of your hair and beard, or facial and hair
decorations can interfere with facial
recognition.
• In rare cases, the surrounding environ-
ment or differences in facial features
may make the facial recognition
process fail.
• If 3D images are difficult to see, you
can try making adjustments in System
Settings/Other Settings/Super-Stable
3D (page 42).
