Adjusting 3D Images; How To View 3D Images Properly; Adjusting The Strength Of 3D Images - Nintendo 3DS XL Operation Manual

Adjusting 3D Images

The 3D Screen allows you to view 3D images. Use the 3D depth slider to adjust the 3D eff ects to a
comfortable level.
The 3D eff ects generated by the Nintendo 3DS XL
Left eye image
are created using the binocular disparity of the
eyes (the ability to interpret 3D images due to
the diff erence in position of the left and right
eye). By manipulating the 3D Screen so that
the left eye sees only the left image and the
right eye only sees the right image, vivid and
convincing 3D eff ects can be produced.
Tilting the screen or viewing it from an angle interferes with the 3D eff ect, and can
cause the screen to appear dark or cause you to see a double image.

How to View 3D Images Properly

Adjusting the Strength of 3D Images

Use the 3D depth slider next to the 3D Screen to increase or decrease the 3D eff ect. If placing the 3D depth slider at the top (strongest 3D eff ect)
makes the 3D images diffi cult to see, move it downwards little by little until you reach a point where the 3D images are distinct and easy to see.
As you become more accustomed to the 3D feature, you may fi nd that raising the 3D depth slider results in better eff ects.
•
Move the 3D depth slider to the lowest point to display images in 2D.
Note:
•
Adjusting the 3D depth slider while viewing content that does not support the 3D feature will not result in 3D images being displayed.
•
Certain types of content, including 3D videos and photos, do not allow adjustments in 3D strength. When viewing such content, adjusting the slider
will only switch between 2D and 3D images. If you fi nd the 3D eff ect to be uncomfortably strong while viewing these types of content, it may help to
hold the system at a greater distance from your face. If you still fi nd it diffi cult to see, then try viewing the content in 2D.
•
Display of 3D images can be disabled in Parental Controls (page 60).
•
Do not view 3D images in direct sunlight or in the direct path of other strong light sources. This may make the 3D images diffi cult to see.
•
3D images may be diffi cult to see depending on your surroundings (page
Precautions for viewing 3D Images
The use of the 3D feature by children aged six and under may cause vision damage. Everyone will have a diff erent way of viewing 3D images.
If you see a double image or are unable to see 3D images even when viewing them correctly and with the proper settings, please use the
2D display only. You may need to adjust the 3D depth depending on your physical condition, the content of the images and your surrounding
environment. If you experience double vision, headaches, nausea, tired eyes or any sudden changes in your condition, stop playing immediately
and take a break.
