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] (p. 52) as a guide.
