What is the minimum distance for 3d macro video recording? Its important for demonstration videos?

In my limited testing, I was able to get great 3D effect from about 10 inches away from the subject (flowers). The images actually popped off the 3.5 inch LCD screen.

The Sony HDR-TD10 does not feature true macro recording. The manual states that minimum camera distance is 3 ft. from your subject. I have shot subjects from about a foot away and had good results.Any closer and you will lose focus.

You may be interested jn the Sony Sony HDR-TD20 V : Minimum Focus Distance : 3D: Approx. 30cm (Wide), Approx. 3.6m (Tele); 2D: Approx. 1cm (Wide), Approx. 80cm (Tele), Approx. 38cm (Tele Macro)

You really don't want to get closer than 3 feet from your subject. There's an equation you can use for 3D: multiply the interocular (the distance between the middle of the lenses) and multiply by 30. In the case of the TD10, the interocular is 31mm. 31x30=930mm, or 36.6 inches, or just over 3 feet.The Panasonic Z10000 has a macro mode that works really well, but it is a pricier camera.

The Panasonic HC-V720 is capable of both 2D and 3D videos alike. The quality of the video is quite superb regardless of what you are recording.

That is really a hard question to answer all I can say is I have been able to do some great closeups with the zoom, better then macro I think you have to be about 25 feet away to use the full zoom on closeups

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

The Z100 creates decent looking 3D video, easily and at a very low cost. I wouldn't expect Avatar, but for $150, I think you know that. The Stereoscopic effect is strongest between 3 and 10 feet from the camera, but at longer distances you will see the 3D effect weaken. Beyond about 50 feet, everything just about flattens out. Also, the camera records split screen Left / Right eye by compressing both into half of the HD width, so you lose some resolution. That said...I love my Z100. It's a great entry point into 3D video, but don't expect Hollywood quality video. Search Youtube and you'll find examples of 3D footage shot with this cam. Judge for yourself.

You put this tripod from up to very close to the ground for a macro picture. Don't worry, that will help you a lot.

Distortion is more prominent in the camera-object distance. minimum distortion beyond 12 feet

no, it records in 30p, but since it is in 3D, you have 2 video stream each is 1920x1080.

Not very long maybe 2 or 3 feet and there is no recording program with it to take pics ir videos!

I cannot give you a definitive answer , because i am NOT SURE about the 3 D aspect and i do not want to give you information that i am not certain about . My TV is HD , but it is not 3 D. I love my recorder , i think it is a tremendously good buy for the money and i would not sell it for twice what i paid for it . You ( DO NOT ) have to pay a profane amount of money for merchandise just to get a good functioning unit .

I haven't used the 3d function yet...will look in the manual and see what it says

Contour recommends a minimum of Class6 memory for smooth recording. Buy only verified Class 6 memory as it comes at a premium and some less reputable vendors mislabel their higher end memory. Chuck

To me its long enough. I'm not sure the exact footage, maybe 10 feet give or take, but I record in my room and the mic stand is a good three to four feet away from my computer station and it works fine. If you need an extension that's on you.

I am looking for the same info.. if you check out this camera on walmarts site there is an actual video on there! Helped me to decide that this is the camera that I am looking for. Also, I believe the macro is as close as 1 cm ! I need a macro to photograph my beadwork.
