∫3D guide display
The 3D guide display is a guideline of distance between the subject and this unit to effectively 
reproduce the subject as a 3D image.
≥The values of the 3D guide display will change according to the zoom magnification and 
convergence point settings.
To switch the screen size assumed for playbackIt is possible to switch the range of the 3D guide display in accordance with the screen size 
assumed for playback when the [3D GUIDE] is set.
≥Set [3D/2D REC MODE] to [3D]. ( l36)
1Select the menu.
≥Color of the 3D in the 3D  guide display will be as following.

To record in such a way that 3D image of the subject can be effectively 
reproduced
We recommend that you record with the subject positioned within the range of the 3D guide 
display.

≥When the subject is out of the range of the 3D guide display, the 3D guide display is 
displayed in red. Move the unit and change the position and angle of view with respect to 
the subject, adjust the convergence dial so as to keep within the range of the 3D guide 
display.
≥ The 3D guide display may be displayed in red more when the [3D GUIDE] is set to

∫ About the screen indications while recording still pictures
≥3D still pictures are recorded in MPO format, and 2D still pictures in JPEG format.
≥ It is possible to record still pictures while recording motion pictures. (Simultaneous 
recording)
≥ Using a tripod is recommended when recording still pictures in dark places because the 
shutter speed becomes slow.
≥ If simultaneous recording is used while recording a motion picture, the remaining 
recordable time will shorten. If the unit is turned off or the mode switch operated, the 
remaining recordable time may lengthen.
≥ The 16:9 still pictures recorded using this unit may be cropped at the edges when printed. 
So, be sure to check before printing in the store or on your printer.
≥ Please refer to page 148 about approximate number of recordable pictures.

∫About the zoom speed
≥The zoom speed will vary depending on how far the zoom lever is pressed or how fast the 
zoom ring is rotated.
≥ Zoom speed of the sub zoom lever will vary depending on the setting of [SUB ZOOM]. 
(l 126)
≥ The zoom speed does not vary when operating with the wireless remote control.
≥If you take your finger off the zoom lever during zoom operation, the operation sound may 
be recorded. When returning the zoom lever to the original position, move it quietly.
≥ It can be focused approximately 1.2 m (3.9 feet) or further when the zoom magnification is 
at its maximum.
≥ It can be focused approximately 30 cm (0.98 feet) or further in 3D Recording Mode, and 
approximately 3.5 cm (1.4 q) or further in 2D Recording Mode when the zoom magnification 
is set to 1 k.
≥ The image may wiggle horizontally when zoom ed during the 3D Recording Mode. This is 
because the convergence point is controlled in combination with the zoom. It does not 
indicate a fault.
≥ When switching to the [3D/2D REC MODE] sett ing, the zoom magnification will be set to 
approximately 1 k.
Utilizing the USER buttonDigital zoom can be used by setting the USER button. ( l71)
