16:9 WIDE

You can record a 16:9 wide picture on the tape to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV (WIDE mode). This function is useful when you want to record on the tape in wider angles while the power zoom lever is moved to the W side. When you connect your camcorder to the S video input jack of a TV compatible with the ID- 1/ID-2 system and play the tape, the TV switches to full mode automatically. Refer also to the manuals supplied with your TV.
