• Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography.
• Images have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and background is 

increased.

• Images may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second image is 

not aligned precisely.

• Images captured under dim lighting may appear grainy with noise.
• The maximum telephoto zoom position is limited to an angle of view equivalent to that of 118.9 

mm lens in 35mm [135] format.

• Shooting is canceled after the first shot if the 

k button is pressed or the subject is not aligned 

with the guide within approximately ten seconds.

• If the camera does not take the second image and cancels the shooting even when you align the 

guide with the subject, try shooting with the shutter-release button.

• Movies cannot be recorded in 3D.

s 3D photography

• The camera captures one image for each eye to simulate a three-dimensional image on a 3D-

compatible TV or monitor.

• The focus area can be moved from the center of the frame to a different position.

To move the focus area, before taking the first image, press the 

k button, and then press the 

multi selector 

H, I, J, or K.

To change settings for any of the following functions, first press the 

k button to cancel focus-

area selection, then change the settings as desired.
- Macro  mode
- Exposure compensation

• After taking the first image by pressing the shutter-release 

button, move the camera horizontally to the right so that the 
subject is aligned with the guide in the monitor. The camera 
captures the second image automatically when it detects that 
they are aligned.

• The focus, exposure, and white balance are locked after the first 

shot, and R is displayed in the monitor.

• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the 

saved image will be narrower than that seen in the monitor at 
the time of shooting.

• Images captured in this mode are saved at an image size of n (1920 × 1080).
• The two captured images are saved as a 3D image (MPO file). The first image (the left eye image) 

is also saved as a JPEG file.
