Using The Wide Mode - Sony Handycam DCR-PC105 Operating Instructions Manual

Using the wide mode

You can record a 16:9 wide picture to watch on the 16:9 wide-screen TV (16:9WIDE).
Black bands appear on the screen during recording in the 16:9WIDE mode [a]. The
picture during playing back in the 4:3 mode on a wide-screen TV [b] or a normal TV
[c]* are compressed widthwise. If you set the screen mode of the wide-screen TV to the
full mode, you can watch normal ratio pictures [d].
If the zoom lever is set to the W (wide) side, the recording angle will become wider than
that of the usual tape recording.
* The picture played back in the wide mode on a normal TV appears the same as the
picture played back in the wide mode on your camcorder [a].
