Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 – digital camera

Overview:

FUJIFILM owns the management in constructing the world’s first 3D digital camera ‘Finepix Real 3D W1’ with two stereoscopic lenses (left and proper) and two 10MP picture sensors. It lets the consumer to shoot each 2D and 3D pictures/movies and consider them on the two.8-inch LCD display screen with out using 3D goggles. Nonetheless, to view the 3D stereoscopic pictures on the pc, one has to put on the 3D goggles or one has to buy the 3D Viewer from Fujifilm.

Construct High quality:

The FinePix Real 3D W1 is sort of cumbersome as a result of presence of two separate lenses with two 10MP sensors. It has a robust and durable all-plastic physique casing with a piano black end, and dimensions of 123.6 (W) x 68 (H) x 25.6 (D) mm. it hardly weighs 260g.

The general construct high quality mirrors the requirements of a mean digital camera.

Options and Performance:

Sliding down the lens cowl on the entrance of the FinePix Real 3D W1 reveals two 3x optical zoom lenses, constructed-in flash unit on the heart and mini-stereo audio system on both aspect. The 35 to 105mm efficient focal vary stands out in 3D pictures the place it’s troublesome to supply a 3D picture with a set focal size lens. The zoom management and shutter button are positioned on high of the camera, together with an infrared port that’s meant to permit the consumer to ship or obtain pictures (however not motion pictures) from one other Fujifilm camera or system with excessive-velocity IR functionality (nevertheless the IR performance check failed throughout our evaluation). The manufacturing facility beneficial vary to share pictures by way of IR functionality is: 5-20cm between the camera and the opposite system. Additionally, the 2 infrared ports needs to be aligned at an angle of 15 levels or lesser and pointing at one another to get correct sign reception. Different notable characteristic of the FinePix Real 3D W1 is the automated picture compression know-how that re-sizes the picture file earlier than transmitting to the opposite system over Infrared. A battery and reminiscence card compartment is positioned on the backside of the camera, together with a plastic tripod socket on the heart.

2D snapshot – Macro

For the reason that producer shipped solely with a 3D camera with out the 3D viewer or print service, we might solely check the 3D picture high quality on the FinePix Real 3D W1’s LCD display screen. We might really feel the 3D realism within the textual content that appeared within the menus over the LCD display screen and likewise whereas capturing within the 3D mode. Nonetheless, it’s good to notice that we’re getting a stereoscopic picture, creating an phantasm of depth from two layered pictures introduced individually to every eye in 2D to simulate a 3D impact. It isn’t actually true 3D.

2D snapshot with flash

Mainly capturing a 3D picture entails ‘purpose and shoot’ method and the automated parallax management characteristic enabled by default is useful for this objective. The automated parallax management takes care of adjusting the 3D pictures to keep away from mis-aligned topics within the 3D body. Nonetheless, there’s a handbook mode additionally accessible for the enthusiastic {and professional} photographers to tinker and alter the 3D picture settings.
