VF ASPECT: Turn the rotary encoder clockwise to change the aspect ratio of the viewfinder screen to that selected by 16:9/4:3 MODE (AUTO), or counterclockwise to fix the aspect ratio of the viewfinder screen at 4:3 (4:3) regardless of the 16:9/4:3 MODE setting.
To fix the aspect ratio at 16:9 (16:9A or 16:9B), turn the rotary encoder further counterclockwise.
When the 16:9/4:3 MODE is set to 4:3 with the VF ASPECT set to 16:9A or 16:9B, then the viewfinder shows the whole of the
4 original 16:9 mode picture in the 16:9 mode frame.
When the VF ASPECT is set to 16:9A, a marker indicating the 4:3 mode picture output area appears in the 16:9 mode frame. When the VF ASPECT is set to 16:9B, the VF signal level outside the current safety zone area (100%, 90% or 80%) drops to a half regardless of whether the SAFETY ZONE setting is ON or OFF.
If you are using the
BOX/4:3 /14:9 LMT: Turn the rotary encoder clockwise to display the box cursor on the viewfinder screen (BOX). Turn the rotary encoder counterclockwise to display a 4:3 mode area on the 16:9 mode viewfinder screen (4:3). Turn the rotary encoder, and further counterclockwise to display a 14:9 mode area.
“16:9” BARS ID: Turn the rotary encoder counterclockwise to record a 16:9 mode indicator in color bars (ON), or clockwise not to record it in color bars (OFF).
