Stereo Base Extender
FujiFilm FinePix Real3D W3
The Cyclopital3D Stereo Base Extender (SBE) is perfect for maintaining accurate depth portrayal when subjects are more distant from the camera, such as: wildlife, band or theatrical performances, weddings or portraits.
The 75mm fixed lens spacing of the Fuji W3 limits how far away from the camera your subject can be while still achieving a high quality 3D photo that displays adequate depth. As you get farther away from your subject parallax decreases, thus decreasing the 3D effect in the image.
The SBE uses perfectly aligned high quality front surface mirrors to effectively increase the stereo base of your Fuji W3 to 225mm. This lengthening of the stereo base allows you to get 3X farther away from your subject while still maintaining an acceptable level of parallax.
This SBE is only needed for subjects farther than about 15ft from camera. It is important to remember that your subject should generally be the closest object in the scene. Objects in the foreground, closer than 15 ft. could cause excessive deviation and make the image uncomfortable to view 3D.

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 in set-up menu 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.
