Wide1

standard size

 

Wide2 (Video)/Wide (RGB)

Ideal for displaying vertically extended pictures such as squeezed pictures.

Zoom1 (Video)/Zoom (RGB)

Enlarges horizontally extended pictures equally in all directions to maintain the aspect ratio constant.

Zoom2 (Video)

Reduces the height of horizontally extended pictures with captions, without eliminating the caption. Only the height of pictures is reduced, not the height of the caption.

(Captions may not be easy to read, however, depending on the picture.)
