Adjusting 3D Images

The 3D Screen allows you to view 3D images. Use the 3D depth slider to adjust the 3D effects
to a comfortable level.
The 3D effects generated by this system are
Left eye image
created using the binocular disparity of the
eyes (the ability to interpret 3D images due to
the difference 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 effects can be produced.

How to View 3D Images Properly

Follow the steps below to ensure that 3D images appear properly.
1 2 Hold the 3D Screen at the appropriate distance from your eyes.
Look directly into the 3D Screen.
•
Adjust the distance until you can see the 3D images easily.

Super-Stable 3D
This function is a feature of New Nintendo 3DS / New Nintendo 3DS XL that allows you to move your head or the system during play without
losing image quality, bringing you a more comfortable 3D viewing experience. It works by tracking the position of your face using the inner
camera in order to adjust the 3D image display. (See p. 67

Note:
•
If you view the system either at an extreme angle, outside the inner camera's field of vision, or side-on, then you will see double images or a dark
screen instead of a 3D image. Check how to view 3D images correctly under the 3D Calibration option in the System Settings
•
The super-stable 3D function will not work while you are using the inner or outer cameras.
•
Display of 3D images can be disabled in Parental Controls ( p.
•
Do not view 3D images in direct sunlight or in the direct path of other strong light sources. This may make the 3D images difficult to see.

Adjusting the Strength of 3D Images

Use the 3D depth slider next to the 3D Screen to increase or decrease the 3D effect. If placing the 3D depth slider at the top (strongest 3D effect)
makes the 3D images difficult 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 find that raising the 3D depth slider results in better effects.
•
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 find the 3D effect 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 find it difficult to see, then try viewing the content in 2D.
