How to Calibrate the Outer Cameras Manually
Nintendo 3DS
In this article, you'll learn how to calibrate the two outer cameras.
Note
- If Parental Controls are set up to restrict the 3D feature, proper calibration cannot be completed.
- Manual Calibration should only be used if Automatic Calibration is unavailable.
- If you are using this feature with the Nintendo 2DS, you will not be able to view any of the images in 3D. You must test images on a Nintendo 3DS to see if they are working properly. 3D images viewed on the Nintendo 2DS will appear blurry, split, or overlapped.
Complete these steps
- Select the System Settings icon on the HOME Menu, and tap Open.
- Tap Other Settings.
- Tap Outer Cameras.
- Move the 3D Depth Slider to its highest position and tap Next.
- Skip this step if using a Nintendo 2DS.
- Tap Manual Setup.
- Tap Next and set the system down on a flat surface.
- Take a photo of a simple, flat shape with a clear outline.
- Adjust the image using the touch screen controls to line up the photo and image on the upper screen.
- You will be unable to complete this step properly on a Nintendo 2DS, so do not make any changes without testing to see if the image displays correctly in 3D when viewed on a Nintendo 3DS.
- Tap Test 3D.
- View something nearby to verify calibration and then tap OK.
- If performing this function on a Nintendo 2DS, you must test any 3D images on a Nintendo 3DS to see if the camera has been calibrated properly for 3D images.
