4:3 Pan scan

It displays a wide picture across the whole screen with left and right edges automatically cut off.

The field still or frame still is automatically selected. (For normal use.)

STILL BY FRAME

The frame still is set.

Note for the field still and frame still: (with 480i interlaced scanning mode)

Field* still (240 lines)

Since only one field (half of the video information) is shown on the TV screen, the picture appears rough but does not shake.

Frame* still (480 lines)

Two fields are alternatively shown on the TV screen. The picture shakes but the resulting picture quality is superior to the field still pictures.

Field*:

A field refers to the video information in

 

one-half of a frame. 1 frame (screen)

 

consists of 2 fields.

Frame*:

A frame refers to the total area occupied

 

by each picture on the TV screen.
