3D-shootings 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, 198 change the lock angle and shoot again. • The available shooting direction is horizontal only. • For details on the procedure used for shooting 3D-images, see page 68. Note on playback of 3Dimages 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. • For details on the procedure used for viewing 3D-images, see pages 126 and 135.
