Notes on recording
• [3D Panorama] is not suitable when
shooting:
– Subjects are moving.
– Subjects are too close to the
camera.
– Subjects with a repeating pattern
such as tiles, and subjects with
little contrast such as sky, sandy
beach, or lawn.
• [3D Panorama] recording may be
discontinued in the following
situations:
– You pan or tilt the camera too fast
or too slow.
– There is too much camera shake.
• If you cannot pan or tilt the camera
across the entire subject within the
given time, a black area occurs in
the composed image. If this
happens, move the camera fast to
record a full panoramic image.
• Since several images are stitched
together, the stitched part will not
be recorded smoothly.
• Under low light conditions, images
may be blurred.
• Under lights that flicker such as
fluorescent light, images may not
be recorded properly.
• When the whole angle of 3D
panoramic shooting and the angle
in which you fixed the focus and
exposure with AE/AF lock are
extremely different in brightness,
color and focus, the shooting will
not be successful. If this happens,
change the lock angle and shoot
again.
• The available shooting direction is
horizontal only.

for shooting 3D-images, see page

Note on playback of 3D-
images
When you play back 3D-images on
the LCD monitor of the camera or on
a non-3D-compatible TV, the images
are played back without the 3D
effect.
Notes on 3D-image files
• A JPEG file and an MPO are
combined to create a 3D-image. If
you erase one of these files from the
computer, the 3D-image may not be
played back properly.
