Supported 3D picture file formats:
MPO: Multi picture object files, captured by the Fujifilm FinePix REAL 3D W1 and W3 cameras.
You have two ways to launch the Photo Viewer:
1. Double-click the icon on the desktop.
![]()
2. Navigate the START menu to Programs --> NVIDIA Corporation --> 3D Vision --> 3D Vision Photo Viewer
The Photo Viewer application will look like this:
Setting Up the 3D Photo Viewer
Once the 3D Photo Viewer has launched, there are three settings you may want to adjust before viewing MPO file.
1. Set Display ResolutionYou can adjust this setting under the Photo Viewer's "Options" and select the desired display
resolution in the drop-down menu.
1. Double-click on an MPO file.
2. Windows will prompt you to associate the file with an application. Click browse and browse to one
of these locations:
Vista/Win7 32-bit: C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstview.exe
Vista/Win7 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\3D Vision\nvstview.exe
3. To make sure the Photo Viewer is always used for MPO files, click the checkbox "Always
use the selected program to open this kind of file".
4. MPO files are now associated with the Photo Viewer and will launch in full-screen mode
when opened.
5. To quit viewing the picture, press "Escape".
You can now double-click on any MPO file and automatically open then in full-screen. Once the file has been
opened, you can't browse to other photos. To quit, press "Escape".
4. To quit the slideshow mode, press "Escape".
Editing MPO 3D Photos (in full-screen mode only)
The Photo Viewer reads the auto or manual parallax values set by the Fujifilm camera when
the photo is taken and/or edited on the camera.
You can use the 3D Photo Viewer to then edit the MPO file.
While viewing MPO files on your PC, you can make adjustments to the picture to correct 3D settings. The
table below lists the hotkeys and how to use them to fix your file.
| Hotkeys | Function | Description |
| D / F | Adjusts the X (left/right) shift. D shifts images apart which moves objects closer to your eyes. F shifts images closer, which moves objects farther away from your eyes. |
The X shift allows you to increase or decrease the amount of separation in the X direction of the two images in the MPO file, which directly affects the position of objects
in your 3D photos. This feature is used to shift the objects forward or backward in your photos.
For example, you may have a photo that has too much 3D “pop-out”, which causes you eyestrain. You can use F to decrease the X shift and bring the objects closer to the screen. When setting your alignment, removing your glasses and looking at the two images overlayed on top of each other can help you in your adjustments. For example, you may want part of your picture to be at monitor depth, meaning it does not go into or come out of the monitor. With your glasses off, adjust the X value such that the two images appear overlapped (no double image) for that part of your picture. When you are done, that part of the image is at monitor depth. |
| E / R | Adjusts the Y (up/down) shift. E shifts the left image up. R shifts the right image down. |
The Y shift allows you to increase or decrease the amount of shift in the Y direction of two images in the MPO file. This feature is used to correct misaligned of the two cameras
caused by an uneven surface.
For example, when viewing the MPO file, you may see objects not aligned in the Y direction, which causes eyestrain. You can use R to decrease the Y shift and align the two images in the MPO file. |
| C | Resets X and Y shifts back to the original file setting. |
This setting resets the X and Y shift back to the original file setting that was set on the Fujifilm camera in the auto or manual parallax mode. NVIDIA recommends using this command if you have performed an X or Y shift and wish to restore the file. |
| V | Sets X and Y shifts to zero. | This setting sets the X and Y shift to zero and removes any offsets set by the Fujifilm camera or NVIDIA 3D Vision photo viewer. Some users may wish to switch to this value to see how their image looks without any parallax shift. |
| J | Saves X and/or Y shifts to the file. | This hotkey allows you to save the file after you have made X and Y adjustments. Once you have saved the file, the MPO file is permanently modified so you can never recover the original X and Y value settings. |
