Using the Focal Length Guide
The focal length guide aids you when using two camcorders for 3D recording. The guide appears as a numerical
value and has a range of 202 steps. You can set the guide to 0 at any point in the zoom range to help precisely
calibrate both camcorders.
1 Set up two camcorders and align their picture angle at full
telephoto.
2 Open the [Focal Length] submenu.

3 Select [Set To 0] and then press SET.
4 Press MENU.
• The focal length guide appears on the left of the screen as [ ±0].
To turn off the indicator, select [Off] instead.
5 Operate the zoom.
• If both camcorders are set so that the same value is displayed during zoom, the focal length for both
camcorders will remain almost the same.
NOTES
• Although the focal length guide is an aid for 3D recording, make sure to check the picture angle visually while
recording.
• You can obtain more accurate results when you perform this procedure at full telephoto.
• The same picture angle for both camcorders cannot be guaranteed.
• When using the digital tele-converter or digital zoom
- When the focal length is reset to zero, the digital tele-converter or digital zoom is deactivated and
