Note: Rotating the video menu button while no
menu is displayed accesses the OSD Tools
(see: OSD Tools at the end of this chapter).
Note: The D-21 sensor readout operates at full sensor
aperture with 1.33:1 (4:3) aspect ratio up to
a standard frame rate of 25 fps. For frame
rates of 29.97 or higher, readout operates at a
reduced height with 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect ratio
while retaining the full sensor aperture width.
The camera image in the SD video output
therefore shows a 4:3 image up to 25 fps and a
16:9 letterbox display for 29.97 fps and above.
Note: The SD video output can be set to output
50 Hz PAL/60 Hz NTSC video (see: SD
Mode). The SD video format is independent
of the camera’s frame rate setting.
