Playback on TV (continued)
Connecting to a TV with a 4:3 TV aspect ratio
When motion pictures recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio (the motion picture recording
menu's [ASPECT] setting is [16:9]) or still pictures recorded with the same aspect ratio
(the still picture recording menu's [PICTURE SIZE] setting is [HDTV]) are played back
on a TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the images shown on the LCD monitor may be
elongated vertically. In this case, you can play them back with their original aspect ratio
by changing the menu setting. (Depending on the settings of the TV, the images may
not be shown correctly. Refer to the operating instructions of the TV.)

Depending on the TV connected, the

you want to record beforehand.
