Using the Modify Photo Menu

This menu allows you to zoom in and out, mark your favorite photos, rotate photos, and see your image metadata.

To open the Modify Photo menu:

1.When you are viewing a photo in fullscreen, press the OK button on the remote. The Modify Photo menu is displayed.

2.Use the Arrow and OK buttons on the remote to select one of the menu options:

•Zoom In - Select this option up to 4 times to zoom in.

•Zoom Out - Select this option to zoom back out.

•Pan - Select this option when zoomed in to move the image.

•Favorite - Select this option to mark the image as a Favorite. You can then use the View Favorites option to display only marked photos.

•Rotate Photo - Select this option to rotate the photo 90° counter- clockwise. This option cannot be selected while zoomed in.

•Info - Select this option to open an info window. The window displays image metadata including date, resolution, and file size. The metadata may vary according to your camera settings.

3.When you have finished, use the Arrow buttons to highlight Done and press OK.

The TV can display images in five different modes: Normal, Wide, Zoom, Panoramic, and Stretch. Each mode changes the picture according to the content’s original format.

Use the table on the next page to determine the best aspect ratio for your content type. Areas in red will not be visible on your TV screen.

To adjust the screen aspect ratio:

1.Press the OK button on the remote. The on-screen menu is displayed.

2.Use the Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the Wide icon and press OK. The Wide menu is displayed.

3.Use the Left/Right Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the screen mode you want to display, then press OK:

•Normal preserves the content’s original aspect ratio. Since the 4:3 aspect ratio is not large enough to fill the TV’s screen, black bars are added to the left and right of the display image.

•Wide stretches a 4:3 aspect ratio picture to the edges of the screen. Since the picture is being stretched, the display image may appear distorted. If the program is already formatted for widescreen viewing (1.85:1 or 2.35:1), then black bars will appear on the top and bottom of the display image.

•Zoom expands images with black bars to fit the screen.

•Panoramic expands the display image to fill the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is displaying a 480i/480p source.

•Stretch expands the display image to fill the screen. Images may appear wider than intended. If you are watching widescreen (1.85:1 or 2.35:1) content, black bars will still appear on the top and bottom of the display image. This option is only available when the TV is displaying a 720p/1080i/1080p source.

You can also quickly access the Wide menu by pressing the WIDE button on the remote.
