Adjusting Parallax During Recording

When recording 3D images, parallax is automatically adjusted. 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, you can make adjustments by bringing the left and right images closer to each other.

Parallax can only be adjusted when 3D images are displayed on the unit’s LCD monitor.

Tap Parallax .

Tap “MANUAL”.

The parallax adjustment screen appears.

To set parallax adjustment to auto (default), tap “AUTO”.

Tap “SET” to confirm.

Caution

  • Too much parallax may cause the 3D effect to be lost.
  • If you see double images even after parallax adjustment, set the display on the LCD monitor to 2D immediately.

Memo

  • While this unit is equipped with the function to adjust parallax automatically, it may not work properly for the following subjects.
    - Subjects beyond the recommended shooting distance (especially subjects that are extremely close to the camera)
    - Numerous subjects of the similar shape arrayed in a line, such as the windows of a building
    - Straight subjects such as electric wires
    In these cases, adjust the parallax manually.
  • When the power of this unit is turned off or the mode is switched to playback after parallax is manually adjusted, the “PARALLAX ADJUSTMENT” setting returns to “AUTO”.
