1. Welcome to 3D Camera Setup

1.1. Overview

3D Camera Setup is an application that allows you to adjust the display of your Web camera to enjoy optimal 3D
images using the two Web cameras installed in this personal computer. When the camera images are not
adjusted with 3D Camera Setup, they cannot be displayed properly by the 3D Camera Viewer.

△ ！ Safety instructions

 If you feel anything unusual when viewing 3D images, please stop viewing immediately.
 Do not view 3D images if you are photosensitive, have a history of heart disease, are in poor physical
condition, sleep deprived or tired, under the influence of alcohol, pregnant, elderly, seriously ill, or with a
history of epilepsy
 People who are near-sighted, far-sighted, or astigmatic should use their corrective lenses with the special
polarized glasses.
 Children who are under five years old should not view 3D images.
 Parental guardian should be aware of their children’s use of the device because they tend to ignore
fatigue.
 If 3D images are displayed properly, please set up the Software again or adjust your position when viewing
the images.
 Images created by cameras whose positions are incorrect could make viewers tired or uncomfortable; be
sure to check the position of the cameras
 Be aware of your surroundings. Viewers sometimes behave in unexpectedly by mixing up images and real
things.
 Viewing 3D images might make viewers feel sick, lose sense of sight or direction and cause eye fatigue and
disorientation. Please make sure to use PC in a stable posture.
 Some images cannot be viewed stereoscopically due to personal differences.

1.2. System Requirements

 Personal computer made by FUJITSU

 Windows 7 operating system
 Original factory default display resolution.
3D function cannot be used with resolutions other than the factory default.

△ ！ Display setting

This software is designed in accordance with the factory default resolution.

It is possible that images might be viewed properly when you use other than the factory default resolution, but
the factory default resolution is optimal for display.
The 3D function cannot be used on an external display.

Click [Next] after you confirm the alignment.

[Good example] [Bad example]

Stereoscopic parallax is set up in the next section. 3D Camera Viewer takes pictures/movies by using this
setting.
The shooting range is changed according to the settings of the stereoscopic parallax.

 3D Camera Setup User's Manual

○
？ What is Stereoscopic parallax?

Stereoscopic parallax is the difference between the images taken by the right/left camera which are positioned
differently.

○
i Adjustment of Stereoscopic parallax
If you adjust the stereoscopic parallax toward objects that are too close to the cameras, part of images will not
be viewed stereoscopically. Please adjust stereoscopic parallax at the recommended position.
The parallax is generated when the distance between the two images is adjusted so they are sufficiently far
apart to make binocular vision possible.
Do not increase the amount of the parallax so much that the right eye image does not fuse with the image of
the left eye; doing so will make the images appear like a double image when the parallax is too great.

2.2.6. 3D Camera Setup – Confirmation of 3D Images

Confirm that you are in the appropriate position for watching the display.
Look at the display wearing 3D glasses with one of your eyes closed.
If you see 4 red circles or green squares, you are in the right position to view 3D images.

If you want to reverse the right and left camera images, click the check box next to "Reverse the right and left
images".

When you click [OK], the setting of the 3D camera ends, and it becomes an environment in which you can watch

3D with the 3D Camera Viewer.

○
i About watching 3D
- Even when you are slightly out of the recommended position, you may have trouble viewing the image
stereoscopically.
- Objects that are viewed from too far away or with insufficient lighting may be difficult to view
stereoscopically.
- It may not be possible to stereoscopically view objects on the edge of the screen.

3. Q&A
Question
How do I change the 3D viewing
settings?
The stereoscopic vision looks double.
Can we use 2 external web cameras
connected to PC for 3D Camera Setup?
Answer
You can change the settings using 3D Camera Setup.
Be sure to view images at the recommended position. If
repositioning yourself does not improve the quality, you
should rerun the 3D Camera Setup procedure.
You can only use the stereoscopic camera built into this
computer for 3D Camera Setup.
