Yes
Can someone tell me the legitimate reason for using it?

I was quite pleased to discover to find I had a setting for taking pictures with it, and my first instinct was I could use it to construct 3D images, so I took a few snaps in Italy with it. I then quickly came to the conclusion, that it probably wouldn't work out - not that I had any method of checking because I don't own a pair of 3D glasses and am inherently too mean to pull up my floorboards in order to buy a pair.:cuckoo:

I posted a couple of images and the first response I got back was; "Dude, I think your camera's broken".

I would like to persevere with it however.
 
Not sure about 3D. Isn't it where you take 3 shots that include a moving object. The RGB are then split to give a image with the different colours showing different positions of the moving object ?
 
Hello Phil

Yes that's the one mate. Wasn't aware the shots had to be moving though. That might prove valuable to know. I'm guessing then that it may only serve to be a creative effect rather than one which serves a practical purpose.

I would be interested to know if anyone does in fact use it for any reason?

Only to give folk headaches ;)
 
Had to google Harris Shutter Effect - never heard of it before. But yes, subject has to have both moving and still elements. Take three shots, preferably on a tripod, and process them in primary colours so that when combined the still parts look normal and the moving bits come out red, blue and green, or yellow, magenta, cyan. Nothing to do with 3D.

Can be corrected in LR - just choose the 3D tool ...

God, I wish I knew what all that meant.

CA stands for "chromatic aberration" which means that at least one of the three prime colours red ,green or blue have not focused on the same plane so a fringe of one or more of the colours appears around subjects in the photo.Green in your case.

LR means :Lightroom,which is editing software.

And a Canon is something pretending to be a camera :lol::gag::bonk:
 
I remember seeing that kind of thing on an ageing PYE cathode tube colour TV.

You mean my TV then :clap:.All I you do is put rubber gloves on and take the back off the TV and there are little white plastic screws on circuit boards you just turn those and it sorts it out OK. :eek:Now you can't do that with these silly wide screen things nowadays.:thumbs:
 
Quite a "basic" problem ;) Never knew anything about it until now :)
