About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures
≥Please refer to page 115 about recording format.
When motion picture is recorded in AVCHD 3D format
≥ Only motion pictures recorded with the recording format set to AVCHD 3D are 
supported by AVCHD 3D compatible equipment.
≥ It is still possible to play back when the motion picture is dubbed to an AVCHD 
compatible equipment, but the 3D video recorded on this unit will be converted to a 2D 
video. It is not possible to restore the converted 2D video back to a 3D video.
≥ It is not always possible to play back motion pictures recorded with the recording 
format set to AVCHD 3D on AVCHD 3D compatible equipment on AVCHD compatible 
equipment. In such a case, play back on this unit instead.
When motion picture is recorded in AVCHD Progressive format
≥ Only motion pictures recorded with the recording format set to AVCHD Progressive are 
supported by AVCHD Progressive compatible equipment.
≥ It is not always possible to play back motion pictures recorded with the recording 
format set to AVCHD Progressive on AVCHD Progressive compatible equipment. In 
such a case, play back on this unit instead.
When motion picture is recorded in AVCHD format
≥ Only motion pictures recorded with the recording format set to AVCHD are supported 
by AVCHD compatible equipment. Images cannot be played with equipment that does 
not support AVCHD (ordinary DVD recorders). Confirm that your equipment supports 
AVCHD by referring to the operating instructions.
≥ It is not always possible to play back motion pictures recorded with the recording 
format set to AVCHD on AVCHD compatible equipment. In such a case, play back on 
this unit instead.

Convergence point adjustment
∫About the convergence point
Convergence point is a position that becomes the reference plane of the 3D image.
When viewing the 3D image, a subject located closer than the convergence point is 
displayed in front of the screen, and a subject located farther than the convergence point is 
displayed behind the screen.
∫Adjusting the convergence point
It is recommended to prepare for recording, such as adjust the convergence point in 
accordance with the position of the subject in advance, determine the construction of the 
image to record, etc., to record an image that is effective as 3D video. It is also 
recommended to adjust the convergence point again when the distance between this unit 
and the subject is changed significantly.
1Display the convergence.
To ensure that the 3D image can be safely viewed, pay attention to the following 
points when adjusting the convergence point.
≥The image may cause tiredness or discomfort when adjustment of the convergence point 
is frequently performed, or the position of the subject is further away in front or rear of the 
convergence point or at the edge of the image.
≥ Stop the operation when you feel fatigue, discomfort, or otherwise strange while 
adjusting.

2Rotate the CONV. dial to adjust the 
convergence point.
≥This can be set between C00 and C99. Position of the 
convergence point will be set further when the number 
is larger.
≥ The subject at the position of the convergence point will 
not shoot out or recess from the screen. (It is seen as 
same as the 2D image)
≥ Adjust by checking on the 3D image or 3D guide display 
on the LCD monitor. ( l41)
≥ When zooming, it may be necessary to readjust the convergence point.
About Convergence ResetWhen a convergence reset is performed, the display of the convergence point goes to  , 
and the convergence point is automatically set to  prevent 3D video that tires or discomforts 
the viewer. When the zoom magnification is  changed, the convergence point is adjusted 
automatically, so please use this setting you wish to record faraway subjects without worrying 
about convergence. ( l73)
≥ Optimal distance range for subject at Convergence Reset.
* This is the target when the [3D GUIDE] is set to [MODE1]. ( l41)
To adjust the convergence point with MIX displayImages from the left and right lenses are displayed overlapping when the 3D display is set to 
MIX display. Adjust the convergence point so the outlines of the subject to be the reference 
plane are overlapping exactly.
≥The left and right images will not be perfectly aligned if the subject is located at a distance 
of less than approximately 45 cm (1.5 feet).
≥ Please refer to page 72 for information on the 3D display.
≥3D image can be recorded as close as approximately 45 cm (1.5 feet) from the lens when 
the zoom magnification is set to 1 k.
