When an image is displayed with a resolution other than recommended, text or lines in the displayed image may blur.
In this case, try adjustment with “Super Resolution” in the Setting menu (see
).
4. (During PbyP/PinP display)
Text is blurred or smudged.

Try changing the text color or background color. Color conversion processing may cause text to look blurred or
smudged. If accurate color display is required, use the single screen display mode.
