You may not be able to shoot photos depending on the setting in [ REC Mode] and [ Frame
Rate].
The LCD screen of your camcorder can display recording images across the entire screen (full pixel
display). However, this may cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right, and left edges of images
when played back on a TV which is not compatible with full pixel display. It is recommended you
record images with [Grid Line] set to [On] and using the outer frame of [Grid Line] as a guide.
