A choice of 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios
Many digital SLRs have a fixed 3:2 aspect ratio, which
means that images displayed on a 16:9 format HDTV
can’t utilize the full width of the screen. The
eliminates this problem by giving you a choice of 3:2
and wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratios. For photos that
you want to view on your BRAVIA, simply choose the
16:9 format, note the boundaries of the 16:9 display
area on the viewfinder screen, and fire away. You’ll be
able to view your images in the full glory of the HDTV
wide-screen format.

advanced BRAVIA HDTV display technology that only Sony could achieve.
Horizontal lines near each corner
of the viewfinder indicate the 16:9
format image area. When shoot-
ing RAW+JPEG images, the JPEG
