Customizing Your Camcorder 47
Using the
(CAMERA SET) menu
– D ZOOM/16:9WIDE, etc.
You can select items listed below on the
CAMERA SET menu. To select items, see
“Changing the menu settings” (p. 43).
The default settings are marked with G. The
indicators in parentheses appear when the
setting is selected. The settings you can adjust
vary depending on the power mode of your
camcorder. The screen shows the items you can
operate at the moment. Unavailable items will
be grayed out.
D ZOOM
You can select the maximum zoom level in case you want to zoom to a level
greater than 10 times while recording on a tape. Note that the image quality
decreases when you are using the digital zoom. This function is useful when
recording enlarged pictures of a distant subject, such as a bird.
16:9WIDE
You can record a 16:9 wide picture on the tape to watch on a 16:9 wide-screen TV
([16:9WIDE] mode).
With this function [ON], your camcorder offers even wider angles when you
move the power zoom lever to the “W” side than recording in [OFF].
When you connect your camcorder to the S video input jack of a TV compatible
with the ID-1/ID-2 system and play the tape, the TV switches to full mode
automatically.
Refer also to the instruction manuals supplied with your TV.
