Use this mode for taking 3D pictures viewable in three dimensions on a 3D-compatible TV or
monitor. The camera takes one picture for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional image.
Pictures taken in this mode are saved with Normal as the image quality and
10:_ 1920xi 080 as the image size.
• After taking the first picture by pressing the shutter-release button, move the camera
horizontally to the right so that the subject is aligned with the guide on the monitor. The
camera takes the second picture automatically.

• The angle of view (i.e.,the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be
narrower than that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• The camera cannot record 3D movies.
• The two captured images are saved as a 3D picture (MPO file) consisting of the left and
right eye images. The first image (the left eye image) is also saved as a JPEGfile. See

display between 3D pictures and non 3D pictures, The images played back in 3D cannot be
enlarged.
• See the documentation included with your TV or monitor to perform settings of the TV or monitor.
Note on Viewing 3D Pictures
