Overview
This camera-recorder is an integrated 3D camera-recorder equipped with twin lenses in a single body.
The twin-lens system allows you to adjust the convergence point within the camera and record 3D 
images with natural sense of depth.
The main features of the unit are as follows:
- Compact and lightweight, with high mobility.
- Easy 3D recording with no need for adjusting two lenses.
- Use of two SD Memory Cards allows simultaneous recording/playback of two channels (AVCHD, PH 
mode).
- Two-channel HD SDI outputs (L and R channels) and HDMI (3D) output are provided for 3D video 
signals.
3D image and convergence point
When shooting 
When viewing a 3D image
The illustration above is an image for explanation.
The convergence point is a point where the optical axes of the left and right lenses converge. This 
indicates the reference plane when viewing a 3D image.
When shooting, adjust the convergence point by shooting the subject you want to set on the 
reference plane so that the image of the subject from the left lens is completely superimposed 
onto that from the right lens.
When viewing the 3D image, a subject located closer than the convergence point is displayed in 
front of the screen, and a subject located farther than the convergence point is displayed behind 
the screen.
