With Avatar having captured an Academy Award for cinematography, and several manufacturers having introduced consumer 3D televisions, it's starting to look like 3D may be here to stay. Presumably it's not an impractical crock as I'd kinda like to believe...
I've recently purchased a GH2 with 14-140mm zoom for capturing video clips and noticed that a 3D lens is also available. I'm curious about the technology used when recording a clip with this lens. Since the camera has a single sensor, would the firmware key successive frames from the double light path separately as left- and right-eye frames and record them successively in an interleaved fashion? Could I hope to edit the AVCHD output with available software/supplied codecs and preserve the 3D nature of a clip?
Kindly excuse my ignorance, I'm new at this...
