Recording Menu Explanations

REC MODE

Allows you to set the recording mode (SP or LP) depending on the tape used

 

(pg. 13).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WIDE MODE

OFF

Select “OFF” when you want to use neither “SQUEEZE” nor

 

 

“CINEMA”.

 

SQUEEZE

For playback on TVs with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Naturally expands

 

 

the image to fit the screen without distortion.

 

 

 

 

appears. When using this mode, refer to your wide-screen TV's

 

 

instruction manual. During playback/recording on 4:3 TVs/viewfinder,

 

 

the image is elongated vertically.

 

 

 

 

CINEMA

Inserts black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. During

 

 

playback on wide-screen TVs, the black bands at the top and bottom

 

 

of the screen are cut and the screen ratio becomes 16:9. When using

 

 

this mode, refer to your wide-screen TV's instruction manual. During

 

 

playback/recording on 4:3 TVs/viewfinder, black bands are inserted at

 

 

the top and bottom of the screen and the image appears like a

 

 

letterboxed 16:9 movie.

 

 

 

ZOOM

16X

When set to “16X” while using digital zoom, the zoom magnification

 

 

will reset to 16X since digital zoom will be disengaged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

64X

Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and

 

 

magnifying images, zooming is possible from 16 times (the optical

 

 

zoom limit), to a maximum of 64 times digital magnification.

 

160X

Allows you to use the Digital Zoom. By digitally processing and

 

 

magnifying images, zooming is possible from 16 times (the optical

picture becomes slightly coarse. Automatically selected when the

 

 

Power Switch is set to “AUTO”.

 

AUTO A

To record a subject in a dimly lit environment. When it is more

adjustment.

Usually the distance to a subject where the lens is in focus depends

 

ON

on the zoom magnification. Unless there is a distance more than 1m

 

(3.3 ft.) to the subject, the lens is out of focus at the maximum

 

 

 

 

telephoto setting. When set to “ON”, you can shoot a subject as large

 

 

as possible at a distance of approx. 60 cm (2 ft.).

 

 

•Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of focus.
