• To cancel the 3D image mode, press the Menu/Fn button or change
the 3D image mode to another Capture mode.
• A clear three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the two images
are taken in widely different positions (heights) or are not straight. When
taking a person, you are recommended to ask your model to stay as
still as possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It
is easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.
• As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance
between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is
3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be
3m÷40=7.5cm.
However, as the way people see three-dimensional images differs
from person to person, there is no need to be too concerned. Refer
to the table below for a simple guide to how far to move the camera.
