This camera-recorder allows you to change the size
(aspect ratio) of the images recorded on tape.
Use the menus
to select the desired setting
for the ASPECT CONV item on the CAMERA SETUP
screen.
NORMAL:
Images are recorded with the standard 4:3 aspect
ratio.
LETTER BOX:
Images are recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Black bands are recorded at the top and bottom of
the screen.
SQUEEZE:
The camera images are squeezed horizontally and
recorded. When images recorded in this mode are
played back on a TV monitor that supports the wide
screen format, they are displayed with the 16:9
aspect ratio.
When SQUEEZE has been selected as the item’s
setting, “SQU” is displayed on the screen.
•
When the mode is switched to SQUEEZE, the screen
image may be disrupted for an instant. This is not a
sign of malfunctioning.
•
The image quality may deteriorate when images
recorded at the SQUEEZE setting are played back.
Use the menus
to select the “WIPE” or “MIX”
for the EFFECT item on the RECORDING SETUP
screen.
WIPE:
The last scene shot opens like a curtain to show the
images currently showing on the monitor.
MIX:
The last scene shot fades out and the images cur-
rently showing on the monitor fade in.
•
You can allocate WIPE/MIX to the user buttons.
When you do so, the mode switches as follows each
time you press the button.
•
You cannot change the mode while shooting.
•
This does not work while stilled.
