the equivalent.

• Do not use the battery charging stand to charge batteries other than the

ones specified. This can cause overheating or malfunctions.

• Take the Worldwide Service Network that is included in the package. This

will be useful if you experience problems abroad.

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still

working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at

a wedding or during travelling). Contents of the recording cannot be

guaranteed if recording, playing back or transferring your data to a

computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or

avoided. Remove from case and store in a well-ventilated place to prevent

the camera from becoming moldy during storage.

• Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any

other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant.

Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other liquid,

wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks

or pressure. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the

camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, or ship, etc.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C

(32°F to 104°F).

• The liquid crystal display will become black but will return to normal when

normal temperatures are returned.

• The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low

temperatures. This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not

a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain

high-performance.

Care to be Taken During Handling

• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation

may form on the inside and outside of the camera.

Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag, and take the camera out

when the difference in temperature has subsided.

• Avoid contact with garbage, dirt, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, salt, etc.

as this may cause damage to the camera. If rain or drops of water get onto

the camera, please wipe dry.

Selecting the Viewing Mode

• To cancel the 3D Image mode, change to another Capture mode.

• A three-dimensional effect will not be achieved if the subject

moves before the second image is taken. When taking a person,

you are recommended to ask your model to stay as still as

possible and to take the second picture as quickly as you can. It is

easier to take the pictures if you use a tripod or appropriate base.

•

As a guide, the camera should be moved about 1/40 of the distance

between the camera and the subject. For example, if the subject is

3m away, the distance the camera should be moved will be

3m÷40=7.5cm. However, as the way people see three-dimensional

images differs from person to person, there is no need to be too

concerned. Refer to the table below for a simple guide to how far

to move the camera.

Viewing 3D Pictures by the Parallel Method and Cross Method

As our eyes are positioned about 6 cm or 7 cm apart, there is a very

slight deviation between what we see with our right eye and what we see

with our left eye. The difference is processed by our brain to produce a

three-dimensional image. This principle is applied to taking and viewing

3D pictures.

3D pictures can be viewed by the parallel method where the left and right

lines of vision are virtually parallel, as when looking at a distant scene,

or the cross method where the left and right lines of vision are crossed,

as when you cross your eyes. A certain amount of practice may be

necessary to view 3D pictures without using the viewer.

How to Assemble the 3D Image Viewer

Assemble the 3D image viewer (optional) as shown below.

Taking Pictures

How to View 3D Pictures Using the 3D Image Viewer

Print out the pictures so that they are about 11 cm or 12 cm wide and

place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two.

As the distance between the left and right eyes differs from person

to person, some people may have difficulty obtaining a three-

dimensional effect even when looking at prints that are the same

size. It may be especially difficult if the pictures are very large or very

small. Try different sizes until the right effect is achieved.

• Never look at the sun through the 3D image viewer.

• Do not leave the 3D image viewer where it is exposed to direct

sunlight as this may lead to fire.
