Re: [photo-3d] Twinned Camera Sync and Filters

["Allan Griffin" <agriffin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gabriel,

I checked the website.  The site is real nice.  AND they say that
the 35R does have a remote socket.  Thats important.
However, I wasn't able to confirm that you can switch to manual
exposure settings if required.  Twinning cameras with auto exposure
only, leaves you with nowhere to go if the auto exposures are not
identical.  With manual this is more reliable.  I will ask the local
Ricoh dealer if he already has stock.

Do you know how to select two cameras from a dealer's stock that
are already within an acceptable synch envelope?  If interested, just ask.
