Notes:

“Squeeze” is an image compression technology. A 16:9 image is compressed and recorded (squeeze recorded) as a 4:3 image.

In stretch playback mode, you cannot perform frame advance, slow, and picture effect playback or copy an image from tape to card.

When outputting the stretch playback image from the DV terminal, the original image signal will be output.

When performing stretch playback, the normal recorded image (picture aspect ratio 4:3) will be stretched as shown below.
