Using the Focal Length Guide 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 128 calibrate both camcorders. Operating modes: 1 Set up two camcorders and align their picture angle at full telephoto. [~ Camera Setup] 2 Open the [Focal Length] submenu. [~ Camera Setup] > [Zoom] > [Focal Length] [Zoom] 3 Select [Set To 0] and then press SET. 4 Press MENU. [Focal Length] • The focal length guide appears on the left of the screen as [ ±0]. [Off] 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 [~ Camera Setup] > [Zoom] > [Mode] is set to [Normal] (optical zoom only). - If the focal length was reset to zero while the zoom was in the digital zoom range, the zoom position will change automatically to the telephoto end of the optical zoom.
