Determine the scene and press the shutter button halfway, so that you can lock the focus,
exposure and white balance. Then, press the shutter button fully down and pan the camera.
Notes
3D shooting is not suitable for the following situations:
When there is a large subject
Moving subjects
When the main subject is too close to the camera
Images with little contrast, such as the sky, a sandy beach, or lawn
3D images consist of a JPEG file and an MPO file. If either file is deleted on your PC, the
camera may not operate correctly.
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given time, a gray area
occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full 3D
image.
Since several images are stitched together, the stitched part will not be recorded smoothly.
Under low light conditions, the images may be blurred. It is recommended that you shoot
images in bright outside light.
Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, the 3D shot may not be successful.
If the entire angle of view of the 3D shot and the angle of view when the AE/AF was locked
are extremely different in brightness, color or focus, the shot will not be successful. If this
happens, change the location of the AE/AF lock and try again.
3D shooting may be canceled in the following situations:
You pan the camera too quickly or too slowly.
There is too much camera shake.
