3D camera
The 3D camera helps you take wide-angle, panoramic photos that capture more of
the scene and add depth to the subject. 3D Sweep Panorama™ photos can be
played back on a TV that supports 3D. In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera
takes several images at different angles as you sweep across the scene. These
images are saved together in an MPO (Multiple Picture Object) file. When you tilt the
camera during playback, the camera sensor detects motion and displays the image in
a 3D-like view on the camera screen.
To activate the 3D Camera
1
From your Home screen, tap
2
Tap the icon on the top left of the screen, then select a 3D camera mode.

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 press the camera key halfway down, 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 press the
camera key fully down 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.
