Mode)
[Widescreen]:
The camcorder uses the full width of the image sensor
providing high-resolution 16:9 recordings.
• Since the screen on the camcorder has an aspect ratio of 16:9, record-
ings with a 4:3 aspect ratio will appear in the center of the screen with
black sidebars.
• Playing back a widescreen recording: TV sets compatible with the
WSS 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 accord-
ingly.
• The camcorder retains the last setting used even if you set the cam-
corder to
mode.
[Video Snapshot Length]:
Selects the length of video snapshot scenes.
[Onscreen Markers]:
You can display a grid or a horizontal line at the
center of the screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your
subject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.
