Cyclopital3D Close–up/Macro Adapter forFujiFilm FinePix Real3D... User manual
Cyclopital3D
Close up 3D photography produces some of the most stunning images
possible in the art.
However, the 75mm fixed lens spacing of Fuji W3 limits how close you
can get to your subject and still achieve a high quality 3D photo. As
you get closer to your subject, parallax increases and too much
parallax makes 3D images uncomfortable or difficult to view.
The Cyclopital3D Close-up adapter uses perfectly aligned high quality
mirrors to effectively reduce the stereo base of your Fuji W3 to 25mm.
This shortening of the stereo base allows you to get 3X closer to your
subject while still maintaining an acceptable level of parallax. It also
increases the common image seen by both lenses, reducing the
amount of image loss commonly experienced in 3D macro
photography. And you can take amazing action shots too!
Benefits and Features:
• Reduces stereo base to 25mm
• Reduces image loss
• Hot shoe mount & trigger for external flash
• Tripod mount
• Neck strap anchors fit 3/8” or 10mm strap width
• Convenient hand grip is easy to hold
• Built in 72mm lens ring allows for attaching optional close up lens
(for subject closer than 12”), ring flash filters or lens hood
• Sealed mirror chamber protects against dust and fingers
• Precision laser alignment
There are a few situations that this close-up adapter is particularly per-
fect for:
1. To capture detail of a subject that is closer than about 4ft from the
camera or attach a macro lens to get even closer!
2. When you have infinity in the background but your subject is close
3. Close-ups of moving subjects
Instructions for use:
1. Slide lens cover open.
2. Insert camera into adapter.
3. Attach to camera by inserting thumb screw into the tripod mount.
4. Turning your camera on (and off). If the camera is off, press and
hold the “play” button in the middle of the control panel. The
camera will power up in playback mode, switch to camera mode
by half pressing the shutter button. To turn the camera off, press
the play button once which will return it to playback mode, then
press and hold the play button until camera turns off.
5. Adjust the zoom. When the camera is first turned on, the lens
will be at minimum zoom. To use the adapter you will need to
zoom in until there are no obstructions seen on the display- you
will see the black sides of the adapter until it is appropriately
zoomed in.
6. Put your camera into macro mode to improve its ability to set
auto-parallax on the close-up scene, by pressing the left selector
button (flower symbol) twice."
When using a flash:
• The flash hot shoe will accommodate almost any kind of flash unit
that has a hot shoe adapter.
• The camera must be set to “forced flash”.
• Red-eye removal mode must be OFF.
• Set the camera to manual mode, set ISO, aperture and shutter
speed to appropriate values for the lighting making sure that the
flash is set with identical values.
• It is recommended to use the flash in auto mode, with the same
values as your camera.
• Note: because an additional battery is not needed to power the
flash control unit, it does not work with some older, high-voltage
flash models. A list of known compatible flash models is being
updated continuously and is posted at www.cyclopital3d.com.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The microscope cover glass used on the inside of the adapter to seal
the mirror chamber is thin and fragile. If it becomes necessary to clean
the delicate glass, use a Q-tip wetted with alcohol, very gently. To gain
access to the front, simply unscrew the UV filter and access the glass
from the front. Do not attempt to remove the microscope cover glass
because it WILL break.
Warranty
Your adapter comes with a Limited Warranty against defects in
workmanship and materials for 90 days from the date of purchase. The
limited warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by
accident, mishandling, misuse, abuse, or alteration.
