connecting two similar digital cameras working in tandem to take stereo pictures.
Sep 29, 2017 19:35:04 #
I have two digital cameras Samsung st 65. (pocket cameras). I have tried to take stereo pictures by placing them side by side. The pictures are limited to two kinds, maximum wide angle and maximum telephoto. Do any of the members/readers of Ugly Hedgehog know a camera technician or electronics technician who can join these two cameras and make them work in tandem i.e., if I make a setting in one camera, the other should also produce the same effects. I know that some people have joined two film cameras, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not known any one who can do this with digital cameras. I have heard that a few people have tried to do this kind of "hook up" with digital cameras, but have not yet seen one. I am now 85 years old and for the past 60+ years, I have used stereo film cameras to take stereo pictures. Now I am wondering if there is any one who will do this work as a challenge. I appreciate any information about this subject. Thank you all.

one possibility would be to get two Nikon D5100s like mine, set them at the same manual setting and trigger them at the same time with the Nikon ML-L3 Remote.

Why not try to see if there is any software that will do that. Having been an ophthalmic photographer and the software that we used had a stereo option built in. It unfortunately on did the center of the image and not the whole picture.

As a producer of 3D films for the amusement park business I needed to set up a system to illustrate the results of certain scenes prior to filming; my set up consists of two Nikon D7200s mounted on a adjustable rail that allows me to adjust the inter axial distance and the convergence of the two cameras. Both cameras are preset (ISO, shutter speed, aperture and focus) and remotely triggered using two PocketWizards set to the same channel (17-a) attached to each camera; the camera shutters are then actuated with a Sekonic L-358 meter equipped with the RT transmitter. The synchronization between is sufficient to catch action shots, BIFs, etc.

I briefly looked at the manual for your camera to if an external trigger could be attached. There are two ports; a HDMI for video/photo out to a TV and a USB/AV that can be used for transferring photos from the camera to another device and charging the camera battery. There doesn't seem to be a way to connect an external trigger so both cameras shoot at the same time. The best i can think of is to mount the cameras to a board using the tripod mounting socket and pushing the shutter button simultaneously.

I am also a former stereo photographer. I preferred to shoot slide film in a stereo revere which I still have. The camera was an antique when I got it so I have some more years I could still do stereo photography but it's an even smaller club now then when I got into it :(
I want to 2nd the notion of setting both cameras manually then trigger both with a remote you can fudge up a physical remote to release both cameras. I used to use the rail and 2 similar film camera bodies to shoot like this but I liked the slide film better.
For now I use the astronaut shuffle (take a shot on one foot, switch to the other and take the 2nd one) but anything in the wind or moving is blurred. Some lower end p&s cameras have a stereo function built in but I think it is interpolated. Good luck! Keep stereo photography alive!

Dual lens cell phone camera's. Way ahead of you. You lose. My ZTE Blade has all you strive for @ 13 megapixels.

Nope. Lenses too close together. There is also the Fuji FinePix W1 Dual but the two lenses are fairly close together as well. Normal eyesight only creates stereo up to about twenty feet before the effect fades. More separation allows for more depth.
Best idea was the suggestions by ELNikkor and Julian to trigger two cameras from the same remote.

If the subject is a landscape or anything else not moving, do the two cameras have to be triggered at the same time?

Thanks to all of you who sent me the suggestions. One of them was to place two cameras side by side and expose separately, but at the same time. I am already doing it. The other message was very specific. The message is: " looked into the manual for your camera, there are no additional places where they can be connected". It means, I cannot use these two cameras (Samsung ST 65) connected with each other. I appreciate the helpfulness of each and every one of you who tried to solve my problem.

No. You can use a single camera and displace it laterally.
A 3 inch displacement is good for nearby 3D, up to about 20 feet, 30 inches will work for 200 feet, etc.
