Taking Photos
You can take photos when the camera is in mode or you can capture a photo from an MXF clip when the
camera is in mode. Photos are saved onto the SD card. In mode, photo size is 1920x1080* or
1920x540**. In mode, photo size depends on the resolution setting of the clip that the photo is captured
from. If the clip is 1920x1080 or 1440x1080, the photo size is 1920x1080. If the clip is 1280x720, the photo size
is 1280x720.

Setup] > [Resize MXF Output] is set to [Letterbox], the picture angle will differ.
