NOTES
Since the displays on the camcorder have an
aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings with a 4:3
aspect ratio will appear in the center of the
screen with black sidebars.
Simultaneous recording of a
still image on the memory card cannot be used
when recording in widescreen (16:9) mode.
When recording in
widescreen mode, with [IMG STAB] set to
[ OFF] ( 46), you can have a wider view
angle.
Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets
compatible with the Video ID-1 system will
automatically switch to wide (16:9) mode.
Otherwise, change the aspect ratio of the TV
manually. To play back on a TV with normal
aspect ratio (4:3) change the [TV TYPE] setting
accordingly ( 51).
