If this happens,change the lock angle and shootagain.• The available shooting direction ishorizontal only.• For details on the procedure usedfor shooting 3D-images, see page68.Note on playback of 3D-imagesWhen you play back 3D-images onthe LCD monitor of the camera or ona non-3D-compatible TV, the imagesare played back without the 3Deffect.Notes on 3D-image files• A JPEG file and an MPO arecombined to create a 3D-image. Ifyou erase one of these files from thecomputer, the 3D-image may not beplayed back properly.• For details on the procedure usedfor viewing 3D-images, see pages126 and 135.
