Position the camera so that the actual image display overlaps the transparent display on the left edge, and then release the shutter. 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. Distance to subject Camera movement 0. 1 m 0. 5 cm 0. 3 m 1 cm 0. 5 m 1. 5 cm 1m 2. 5 cm 3m 7. 5 cm 5m 13 cm 65 Viewing 3D pictures by the parallel method and cross method As our eyes are positioned about 6 ­ 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 supplied with the camera as shown below. 4 Taking Pictures 66 How to view 3D pictures using the 3D image viewer Print out the pictures so that they are about 11cm or 12cm wide and place the divider of the 3D image viewer in the middle of the two. 4 Taking Pictures 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.
