16 X 9 Mode
The new 16 x 9 TV format provides a 30% wider picture than conventional TVs of the
same height. The 16 x 9 recording mode lets you make recordings compatible with
this new format. When the 16 x 9 mode is activated, the camcorder records black bars
at the top and bottom of the picture to produce the wide-screen effect. This is known
as “letter box” recording. When played back on a standard size TV, black bars appear
in the picture.
Do not use this recording mode unless you have a 16 x 9 TV.
