4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with slight
elongation.
Just mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with
aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that
elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen.
The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the
picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum
size.
Notes:
• Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the
aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material.
Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens,
may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly.
When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT
be set to 4:3.
• If adjusting the Picture V-Pos/V-Size in Panasonic Auto with 16:9
mode, the adjustment is not memorized. When exiting the mode,
the screen will return to a former adjustment.
