Using the wide mode

You can enjoy recording with wider angles compared to the normal tape recording while the power zoom lever is moved to the “W” side.

You can record a 16:9 wide picture to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV (16:9WIDE). Black bands appear on the screen during recording in the 16:9WIDE mode [a]. The picture during playing back in the 4:3 mode on a wide-screen TV [b] or a normal TV [c]* is compressed in the widthwise direction. If you set the screen mode of the wide- screen TV to the full mode, you can watch pictures of normal images [d].

*The picture played back in the wide mode on a normal TV appears the same as the picture played back in the wide mode on your camcorder [a].
