Shooting for the wide-screen TV – 16:9 Wide mode
Notes
•You cannot select [OLD MOVIE] (page 54)
during recording in the 16:9 Wide mode.
•When you select VIDEO mode, setting the
recording mode to [LP] cancels the 16:9 Wide
mode.
•You cannot change a movie recorded in the
16:9 Wide mode to the normal aspect.
Tips
•Pictures recorded in 16:9 Wide mode
automatically appear on the TV screen at full
size when:
– you connect your camcorder to a TV that is
compatible with the video ID (ID-1/ID-2)
system.
– you connect your camcorder to the S
VIDEO jack on the TV.
•The ID-1 system sends aspect ratio (screen
horizontal/vertical ratio) information (16:9,
4:3, or letter box) along with the video
signals.
•The ID-2 system sends a copyright protection
signal with ID-1 signals inserted between
video signals when you connect your
camcorder to other equipment using the A/V
connecting cable.
