Will the shadows be ok when using a flash from only one of the cameras?
Moderate stereo bases, 7 - 14 cm, and subject within 4 - 15 m, assumed.

The flash for the Fuji Real 3D W3 is located between the two lenses. If the subject is close to a wall you see a dark shadow on the right side of the subject in one image and on the left side in the other image. When viewing the image in 3D you can get a sort of shimmering effect with the shadows...

Obviously the single flash and it's positioning on the W3 is not designed or optimized for use in the 3D mode, but in 2D mode it would be fine.

Depth has been the mizzing dimenzion for long enough. But still, few are bothered with 3D.
