Connecting to a TV with a 4:3 TV aspect ratio
When motion pictures recorded with a 16:9 aspect ratio (the motion picture recording
menu’s [WIDE] setting is [ON]) or still pictures recorded with the same aspect ratio (the
still picture recording menu’s [PICTURE SIZE] setting is [HDTV]) are played back on a
TV with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the images shown on the LCD monitor may be elongated
vertically. In this case, you can play them back with their original aspect ratio by
changing the menu setting. (Depending on the settings of the TV, the images may not
be shown correctly. Refer to the operating instructions of the TV.)
Press the menu button, then use the
cursor button to select [ SETUP]#
