Cyber-shot™ Digital Camera - Digital Still Camera

Enjoy 3D photos instantly

The Sweep Multi-Angle function lets you take 3D-like pictures of your friends and then share them using the camera’s unique playback technology. Tilting the camera from left to right animates the image on your camera’s LCD screen and gives you a real sense of what the final 3D image may look like - without the need for a 3D TV or 3D glasses.

How the Sweep Multi Angle works

During a Sweep Multi Angle exposure, your Cyber-shot takes and stores lots of different images from 15 different angles as you move the camera. The camera’s processor then combines these images to build two files. One is a full 3D picture, which you can view by plugging your camera into a compatible 3D TV and putting on a pair of 3D glasses.

The other file allows you to preview the 3D-like picture on your camera’s screen. Tilting the camera from left to right (and back again) lets you see your image from different angles. But instead of a series of images, you see a single, seamless composited image – as if you were actually moving your viewpoint or walking around your subject.

Enjoy your Sweep Multi Angle images

Viewing images taken with Sweep Multi Angle is easy. Just use the camera to play back photos taken in Sweep Multi Angle mode and tilt the camera from side to side while displaying the images on the LCD screen. This causes the camera to play 15 continuous images like short animation footage. If the scene has depth, you can view it from different viewpoints while tilting the camera, showing relative positions of objects captured during shooting. And, by connecting the Cyber-shot to a TV set with HDMI™ or bundled cable and tilting the camera from side to side, you can enjoy the same continuous images on the TV screen.

Viewing Sweep Multi Angle images with PS3™

In addition to viewing images directly on the Cyber-shot LCD screen, there’s another way to enjoy your pictures - simply use PS3™ as an image player/controller. Just transfer Sweep Multi Angle image data to PS3™ using MemoryStick or SD card, and let PS3™ play back the images. If you tilt the PS3™ controller from side to side, the TV shows a smoothly shifting image seen from different angles.
