Memo
- To record 3D images, refer also to “ Precautions on Recording and Playing Back 3D Images ”.
- If the left and right images of an object close to the camera do not appear to be in alignment, or the 3D effect of a distant object is weak, adjust the parallax.
- When “PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT” is assigned to the ADJ button, parallax can be adjusted manually using the ADJ button and control dial.
