Re: Any advice and help rigging twin cameras for 3d stereo?

Fuji W3 native is 4:3. So, if you switch it to 16:9, you are cropping the original image. For any still camera, shoot what is native to the camera and decide later what aspect you want.

Fuji W3 info:

Stills are natively 4:3 aspect

<4:3> 3,648 x 2,736 pixels

< 3:2> 3,648 x 2,432 pixels

< 16:9> 3,584 x 2,016 pixels

For video, 16x9 is the native aspect.

I know you can set those aspects independent of each other. I always shoot 4X3 stills and 16x9 video with that camera.

Also, the S95 is native for stills at 4:3 too.  So, you shouldn't be doing anything with 16:9 with either of these cameras.  3:2 is close to what 35mm is.

I think the realist type cameras shot a weird narrow aspect, which was very strange.  I have slides from that and I believe it was taller than it was wide.  If you liked that, You could have your s95 cameras shooting portrait 16:9 and that may get you closer to that.  But come on, that would just be weird.

I have taken most of my pictures using the Realist format film cameras and I haven't really liked what I have done so far with my Fujifilm W3. The whole 16:9 is so wide. Maybe I'll have the same problem with the twin S95 cameras.
