A method and apparatus for capturing a stereoscopic image pair uses a working memory to store dynamic data created during the capture process by capturing a first image through an image and sensor, capturing a second image through the imaging sensor, determining a vertical and a horizontal disparity between the first image and second image, determining a geometric distortion between the first image and second image, determining a convergence point between the first image and second image and applying a correction for at least one of the vertical disparity horizontal disparity, the geometric distortion and the convergence point to at least the first image or the second image to create a stereoscopic image pair comprising at least one corrected image which is subsequently stored in a data source separate from the working memory.
