The
suggestions
in

and

most
effective
3-D
photographs
possible.
Overview
The3-Deffect
of
Nishika
photographs
occurs
wheneveran
object
atone
distance
fromthe
camera
visuallyoverlaps
another
object
atadifferent
distance.
The
most
ef-
fective3-D
photos
have
overlapping
objects
in
the
foreground,
midgroundand
back-
ground
ofthe
composition.
When
your
Nishika
3-D
photos
are
processed,
a"key
(main)
subject"
must
be
selected
by
the
printing
technician.
This
key
subject
will
bethe
focal
point
of
the
photo-
graph,
and
objects
that
share
its
distance
fromthecamera
will
exhibit
the
mostclarity.
Objects
either
tarin
front
or
far
behind
the
keysubject
may
beslightly
less
sharp.
Several
guidelines
areused
by
Nishika
technicians
to
determine
the
key
subject
of
a
3-D
photo.
lf
there
is
only
one
person
in
the
picture,
that
person
will
bechosen
as
the
key
subject.
lf
there
are
two
people
at
dif-
ferentdistances
fromthe
camera,
the
key
subject
will
bethe
closer
person.
In
photos
wherethereare
more
than
two
people
atdif-
ferent
distances
fromthecamera,
the
key
subject
willbethe
person
mostcentrally
lo-
cated
in
the
midrangeofthe
composition.
Finally,
for
photos
without
people,
the
key
subject
will
bethe
mainsubject
asdeter-
minedbythe
technician,
and
will
usually
be
centrally
located
in
the
midrangeofthe
com-
position.
Thefollowing
guidelines
willhelp
you
take
maximumadvantage
ofthe
3-D
poten-
tial
ofthe

IGeneral
3-D
Guidelines
1. Use
your Nishika
3-D
camera
ina
horizontal
position
only.
ln
the
verticalposition,
no
3-D
effect
will
be
achieved,
2, Include
foreground
objects
that
visually
overlap
more
distant
objects
in
the
composition.
The
most
dramatic
3-D
effect
is
achieved
when
objects
in
theforeground
cross
over
orpartially
cover
more
distant
ob-
jects.

3. Forthe mostdramatic
3'Deffect,
keep
your foregroundobiects
ascloseto 6
feet
from thecamera
asPossible.
Foregrounds
at
6feet
will
yieldmore
dramatic
3-D
effects
than
the
same
composi-
tion
with
the
foreground
at
7feetor
more.
4. Avoidhaving
obiects
nearer
than 5112
feet
fromthecamera.
The
N8000
camera
has
afocal
range
of
5 112
feet
toinfinitY.
5. Forthe best3-D
effect,
keeP
Your
mainsubiect between15and 22teet
from thecamera,
with 17to 20
feet
being
optimal.
With
the
foreground
at
6feet,
however,
good
results
can
also
be
obtained
with
the
main
subject
as
close
as1
0to14
feet.This
is
particularly
important
for
indoor
photog-
raphy,
where
space
and
lighting
conditions
may
require
photographing
subjects
at
closer
distances.

tion

photography

6. Besurethatallobjectsinyour 3-D
pictures
arewell lit,
andwhenever
convenient
include

This
will
enhance
the
3-D
effect,
aswell
asbring

to
your
pictures.
7. Avoid posingsubjects
against
aflat

suchas

Posing
subjects
against
flat
back-
grounds
will
naturally
result
in
pictures
that
lack
depth.

Indoor
Photography
As
can
be
seenfrom
the
General
3-D
Guidelines
above,
itis
possible
to
take
effec-
tiveNishika
photographs
with
your
main
sub-
ject
positioned
atawide
range
ofdistances
from
the
camera.
In
well-lit
outdoor
settings,
17
to
20
feet
is
optimal.
For
indoor
photog-
raphy,
however,
space
considerations
may
make
such
distances
impractical.
Further-
more,
themajority
of
flash
units,
including
the
Nishika
Twin
Light
3010,
aremost
effec-
tive
in
lighting
subjects
that
are
14
feet
or
closer
to
the
camera.
For
thesereasons,
it
is
usually
best
tophotograph
subjects
at
dis-
tances
of10
to14
feet
from
the
camera
when
taking
3-D
pictures
indoors.
Tomaximize
the
3-D
effect
of
indoor
photographs
with
themain
subject
atthese
closer
distances,
remember
to
keep
your
foreground
asnear
aspossible
to6feet
from
the
camera.
For
proper
exposure,
make
sure
you
set
thelighting
selector
on
your
camera
to
the
Cloudy/lndoors
position
wheneveryou
are
taking
apicture
indoors.
