To see what we mean, try this simple experiment. Hold your right hand, fingersupstretched. directly in line with vour nose and about a foot in front of it. Line up vour hand so that both the front and back are ;i;ibte with both eves. Nor,v close your right eye. You see only the lront o[ your hand. Open your right eye and close your Ieft. Notice that you now see only the back of your hand. Open both eyes and look at your hand. You see both sides at once. What you see on the left is seen by the left eye; what yo., see on the right is seen by the right eye, When both eyes iue correctly focused on your hand, you see only one rmage. This, then, is binocular vision. With two eyes you see partially around objects - to give them shape and to bring out the third dimension (depth)..

(15) And that's what the cameradoes.With two lensesspacedabout the same distanceas the eves,it fakestwo picturesat the sametime' One #ith th" left lens and one with the right lens. The resulting two pictures, when iorrectly viewed, app;ar to fiave depth.

Shorp pictures.In real life, vou don't look at a whole scene at once. Instead you scan it; that is you look at only a small area;t a time. As your eyes_movethey focus on each object at which you Iook. so thiLt each par'[ of the siene is sharp. This is similar to the wav vou look at ster.6o tlansparencies through a viewe.. In general. then. it follorvs thal most important"obiects throughout the rvhole distance iange in st'ereo pi('tules should be in sharp focus. Bec'auseof the short focal length o[ the ]enses -of on stereo cameras, the range sharp focus (depth ot field) is very great.

Notice their shapes. You can easily recognize them by their geometric features. A ball is a ball. But look at those objects that are farthcr away. The farther away the object, the flatter' it appears. Aball might be a disc; the nroon appears flat. This is because those objects are too far away for our eyes to see partially around them. And that is how fhe camera performs. Nearby subjects take on their natulal shape; far-arvay subiects tend to flatten out. In general, when the lenses are at GROUPS settin[, subjectswitlrin the range of sharp focus give tie beit stereo eflect. Subjicts beyond that point begin to show lesser stereo eflects.
