Finally dialed in the settings to making a pair of Coolpix P330 work well for capturing 3D stereoscopic video. The key is matching settings for both cameras(obviously). But most critically, a slower shutter speed is a MUST. The Coolpix P330 has built in ND filters(Which I don't quite understand how it works if it is an electronic effect or actual mechanical filter in the lens to cut excessive light) that allows me to lock my shutter speed at 1/60. Blurring from slower shutter speeds will hide any slight mismatch. (Look at the footsteps of folks walking) I'm shooting in manual mode. 30fps. 1/60 shutter speed. ND filter (outdoors ON). Active stabilization. Edited in Final Cut Pro X with Dashwood Cinema 3D Stereo Toolbox. I'm quite pleased how good the sync is. The Nikon shoots in Constant Frame Rate... an iPhone shoots in Variable Frame Rate.... that can also affect what I'm trying to achieve.
