Besides the aforementioned Auto 3D and Advanced 3D shooting modes, the Finepix Real 3D W3 has a few more unique modes in the mix that employ the novelty of having a dual-lens camera. Among the camera's Advanced 2D modes are a Telephoto/Wide setting (one lens shoots a shot at full telephoto, while the other shoots in wide-angle simultaneously); a Dual Color setting (the image from one lens is shot with auto exposure settings, while the other boosts the vibrancy of colors); and a Dual ISO setting (each lens captures an image at a different ISO equivalency).

Along more traditional lines, the camera has 13 scene modes similar to the ones found on most digital cameras: portrait, sunset, sports, snow, beach, and the like. You can use the scene modes for both 2D and 3D shooting, and there are two scene-mode positions on the mode dial so that you can have a pair of different presets available immediately.

Burst modes are also available for both 2D and 3D capture: In 3D mode, continuous capture maxes out at a frame per second at a 3-megapixel resolution, while in 2D mode, the camera can capture 3 frames per second at a 3-megapixel resolution.

The Finepix Real 3D W3 is certainly well-built, and the lenses (and stereo mics) are protected when not in use thanks to a slide-down cover; when you slide the cover down, it turns the camera on.
