3D camera The 3D camera helps you take wide-angle, panoramic photos that capture more of the scene and add depth to the subject. 3D Sweep Panorama™ photos can be played back on a TV that supports 3D. In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera takes several images at different angles as you sweep across the scene. These images are saved together in an MPO (Multiple Picture Object) file. When you tilt the camera during playback, the camera sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera screen. To activate the 3D Camera 1 From your Home screen, tap , then find and tap . 2 Tap the icon on the top left of the screen, then select a 3D camera mode. To take a photo in 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode 1 From your Home screen, tap , then find and tap . 2 Tap the icon on the top left of the screen, then select 3D Sweep Panorama if it is not already selected. 3 Press the camera key halfway down to lock the focus. 4 Press the camera key fully down, then pan the camera from left to right in a steady horizontal movement. Tips for taking 3D Sweep Panorama™ photos Note these limitations when taking 3D photos: • 3D shooting is not suitable when the subject is large or not stationary; when the main subject is too close to the camera; and when the subject offers little contrast, such as the sky, a sandy beach, or a lawn. • 3D images consist of several JPEG images and associated MPO files. If you delete an MPO file on the camera (while it is connected to a computer), you will no longer be able to view the associated JPEG image. • If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given shooting time, a gray area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to record a full 3D image. • Under low light conditions, images may be blurred. To get the best results, shoot images in bright outside light. • Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, 3D shots may not be successful. • When you press the camera key halfway down, you set the Auto Focus lock and the Auto Exposure lock. If the brightness, focus and other conditions change considerably between the time you set these two locks and the time you press the camera key fully down to take the shot, the shot might not be successful. • The camera may cancel 3D shooting in the following situations: you pan the camera too quickly; you shake the camera too much; you pan the camera in the reverse direction. To take a photo in a Sweep Multi Angle mode 1 From your Home screen, tap , then find and tap . 2 Tap the icon on the top left of the screen, then select Sweep Multi Angle. 3 Press the camera key halfway down to lock the focus. 4 Press the camera key fully down, then pan the camera from left to right in a steady horizontal movement.

Tips for taking 3D Sweep Panorama™ photos
Note these limitations when taking 3D photos:
•
3D shooting is not suitable when the subject is large or not stationary; when the main
subject is too close to the camera; and when the subject offers little contrast, such as
the sky, a sandy beach, or a lawn.
•
3D images consist of several JPEG images and associated MPO files. If you delete an
MPO file on the camera (while it is connected to a computer), you will no longer be able
to view the associated JPEG image.
•
If you cannot pan the camera across the entire subject within the given shooting time, a
gray area occurs in the composite image. If this happens, move the camera faster to
record a full 3D image.
•
Under low light conditions, images may be blurred. To get the best results, shoot images
in bright outside light.
•
Under lights that flicker, such as fluorescent lights, 3D shots may not be successful.
•
When you press the camera key halfway down, you set the Auto Focus lock and the
Auto Exposure lock. If the brightness, focus and other conditions change considerably
between the time you set these two locks and the time you press the camera key fully
down to take the shot, the shot might not be successful.
•
The camera may cancel 3D shooting in the following situations: you pan the camera too
quickly; you shake the camera too much; you pan the camera in the reverse direction.
