Notes:

E

• “16:9” is shown in the display when you switch the 16:9 mode on.

•You cannot use the 16:9 mode with the Easy Recording program.

•You cannot use the multi-image screen when setting the 16:9 mode on.

•If you play back a recording made for 16:9 on a normal TV screen, the image will appear to be vertically “squashed” (compressed).

•If you connect the camcorder to a TV with an S1 terminal or the Video ID- 1 system, recordings made in the 16:9 mode for wide screen TVs will automatically play back in wide screen mode on the TV screen.

Turning Off the Tally Lamp

The tally lamp lets you know that the camcorder is recording, receiving signals from the wireless controller or counting down for the self-timer. However, its flashing may be reflected into the lens during closeup recording, or when recording through glass.

You may therefore decide to turn it off.
