In order to shoot 3D images safely and comfortably, this 
camera is provided with three types of 3D assist function.
•  The 3D assist function is enabled when the LCD/EVF 

mode is set to left-lens (L) image only or mixed left-lens 
(L) and right-lens (R) image. Press the LCD-EVF button 
so that the LCD/EVF mode display is none or MIX on the
