3D Sweep Panorama
Allows you to create a 3D image from composed images.
3D images shot in [3D Sweep Panorama] mode of this camera can be played back only
on a 3D TV. The recorded images are played back as normal still images on the LCD
monitor of this camera and a non-3D TV.
• You may feel uncomfortable symptoms such as eyestrain, nausea, or a tired feeling while watching 3D
images recorded with the camera on 3D compatible monitors. When you watch 3D images, we
recommend that you take a break at regular time intervals. Since the need for or frequency of break times
varies between individuals, please set your own standards. If you feel sick, stop watching 3D images, and
consult a doctor as needed. Also, refer to the operating instructions of the connected device or the
software used with the camera. A child's vision is always vulnerable (especially for children under 6
years of age). Before allowing them to watch 3D images, please consult with an expert, such as a
pediatric or ophthalmic doctor. Make sure your children follow the precautions above.
• If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area occurs in the
composed image. We recommend you pan the camera 180 degrees within about 6 seconds when using an
E18 – 55 mm lens at the wide end (18 mm) for better results. You should pan the camera slower with the
telephoto side of the lens.
• When you select [Wide] in [Image Size], you may not be able to pan the camera across the entire subject
within the given time. In such cases, we recommend that you select [Standard] or [16:9] in [Image Size].
• If you shoot a 3D image with T side of a zoom lens, a gray area may occur more often, or shooting may
be stopped. It is recommended that you use a zoom lens with W side.
• The camera continues shooting during [3D Sweep Panorama] recording, and the shutter keeps clicking
until the end of the shooting.
• Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
• Under low light conditions, 3D panoramic images may be blurred.
• Under lights that flicker such as fluorescent light, the brightness or color of the combined image is not
always the same.
• When the whole angle of 3D panoramic shooting and the angle in which you fixed the focus and exposure
(AE/AF lock) by pressing the shutter button halfway down are extremely different in brightness, color
and focus, the shooting will not be successful. If this happens, change the lock angle and shoot again.
• [3D Sweep Panorama] is not suitable when shooting:
– Subjects in motion.
– Subjects that are too close to the camera.
– Subjects with a repeating pattern such as tiles, and subjects with little contrast such as sky, sandy
