• The 3D image mode is not available when TIFF is selected
for the image quality.
• 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 con-
cerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far
to move the camera.
