Question :
An MPO file is recorded in addition to a JPEG file after shooting 3D pictures. Why?
Answer:
When shooting 3D pictures, a JPEG file and an MPO file are recorded in record mode 16:9 S.
The MPO format (Multi Picture Object Format, file extension: ".MPO") is a CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) file format. This file format saves multiple images as a single image file.
In 3D picture shooting, the camera creates parallax images for the right and left eye in MPO format.
Note:
If either the MPO file or JPEG file is deleted from the computer, the images cannot be displayed in 3D.
Question :
Can I play back the 3D images, taken with 3D mode, on the LCD monitor of my camera?
Answer:
No, the 3D images cannot be played back on the monitor of your camera. You can play back the images on 3D-compatible devices (e.g. TV, computer).
Note:
To play back the 3D images on a TV, connect a 3D-compatible TV to your camera using an HDMI cable (CB-HD1, 1.5 m, sold separately).
Question :
What are the compression rates and what size are the image files in each record mode?
Answer:
The following table shows the approximate values:

*1 When recording in 720P format, the maximum recording time per movie is 29 minutes.
Note:
| - |
The number of storable still pictures and the amount of storable movie recording time are approximate and are calculated based on capacity. The figures are not a guarantee of battery life. |
| - |
To increase the free space in the internal memory or memory card, save any images and movies you wish to keep to external storage (for example, on a computer) and then delete them from the internal memory or memory card. |
Regarding the movie recording time:
| - |
Regardless of the card capacity, the maximum file size per movie is 4 GB. |
Question :
Can I print the date on my pictures when shooting?
Answer:
Yes, you can print the date on your pictures by setting Date Stamp to On in  (Shooting menu 2).
The date stamp cannot be deleted afterward.
Note:
| - |
If the camera's date and time settings have not been set, Date Stamp cannot be set. |
| - |
Even if Date Stamp is set to Off, the date can be printed using software (e.g. OLYMPUS ib) if the camera's date and time settings were set when the image was captured. |
