This camera-recorder allows you to change the size
(aspect ratio) of the images recorded on tape.
Use the menus
(P62-64) to select the desired setting
for the ASPECT CONV item on the CAMERA SETUP
screen.
(P66)
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 (P62-64) 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.
