2 Extra notice regarding 3D viewing: 1. To view 3D display and receive 3D effects well, the viewer should be positioned to face the center of the screen at around 30 cm distance and not having a steep viewing angle. 2. Viewing in 3D mode may cause dizziness or even perceptive after effects, disorientation, and eye strain. It is recommended that viewers take frequent breaks to alleviate the likelihood of these effects. If you have any of the above symptoms, immediately cease usage of the 3D display of this device and do not resume until the symptoms have receded. 3. Do not use the Red/Cyan Glasses for any purpose other than viewing red/cyan 3D files. Wearing the Red/ Cyan Glasses for any other purpose (such as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may cause harm to you or weaken your eyesight. 4. Young children viewing 3D fi les should always be accompanied by adults. It is not recommended to give this device into the hands of young children. The 3D display technology used in this product: This product utilizes the Parallax Barrier 3D technology. A parallax barrier is a device that allows a liquid crystal display (LCD) to show a stereoscopic image without the need for the viewer to wear a pair of 3D glasses. Placed in front of the normal LCD, a parallax barrier consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, thus creating a sense of depth and 3D effect through parallax. Parallax Barrier Right Left Right eye Left eye Pixels Tips to Obtain the Best 3D Effects with your Camcorder Optimal watching distance to the monitor of 3D Camcorder: Keep your eyes distance approximately 30cm from 3D camcorder (half the length of your arm) (as shown in right fi gure). The ideal viewing distance for best 3D effects: The different distances maintained between the camcorder: 1.5 to 2 meters for foreground, 1 to 2 meters for the foreground to the medium shot, and over 4 meters for the long shot (as shown in fi gure below). Therefore, multi-perspective images can be obtained via the above shooting skills. In order to obtain the best 3D effects, keep your hands still and steady when recording. 2

3 Refer to two below illustrations for reference: Long shot Medium shot Foreground Users can toggle between 3D mode and 2D mode by pressing the 3D/2D switch button. Since 3D grating film will be automatically enabled under 3D mode, the brightness of monitor in 3D mode will be less than in 2D mode; nevertheless, quality of the 3D files shot/recorded will remain the same. 3

Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Solution Cannot to view the 3D video/ photo playback using my 3D HDTV. Cannot view the 3D videos/ photos on my 3D-featured PC/notebook. Flash occurs when I wear my Shutter Glasses (that came with 3D HDTV/display) to watch 3D fi les. The system of your 3D TV/ display is not correctly set up to support the 3D file format. The PC/notebook does not support side-by-side 3D format or the system is not correctly set up. You are watching 3D fi les under 50Hz or 60Hz fl uorescent light. Select side-by-side setting in your 3D HDTV/ display to correctly display the 3D effect. If your 3D PC/notebook is Nvidia 3D compatible, you can set the TotalMedia HDCam program to support Nvidia 3D directly. If your PC/notebook is not Nvidia 3D compatible, you may consider installing Nvidia 3D kit to support the 3D effect. You can download and install the 3D freeware Stereoscopic Player, and set up the software to support side-by-side 3D effect. Turn off the fluorescent light to avoid interference and then watch the 3D files. 15
