[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, recordings 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 Video ID-1 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 accordingly (
90).
