Chapter 7 Menu Displays and Detailed Settings

7-2 Status Display on the Viewfinder Screen
You can set the following items on the MARKER 1
page.
1) The ASPECT MASK item is for processing the signal to be output to the
viewfinder. When R, G, or B is selected for the TEST OUT SELECT item
from the menu, the same video signal is output to the viewfinder and the
TEST OUT connector. Thus, when the ASPECT MASK (4:3) item is set
to “ON” with R/G/B selected, the masked video signal is output to the
TEST OUT connector.
