The camcorder uses the full width of the
CCD providing high-resolution 16:9
recording.
Since the displays on the camcorder
have an aspect ratio of 16:9, recordings
with a 4:3 aspect ratio will appear in the
center of the screen with black sidebars.
A still image cannot be simultaneously
recorded on the memory card while
recording movies in widescreen (16:9)
mode.
Playing back a widescreen recording: TV

Recording in LP mode extends the
available recording time on the tape 1.5
times.
Depending on the condition of the tape
(long usage, imperfections, etc.) you may
notice some video problems (blocky video
artifacts, banding, etc.) in the playback
picture when playing back recordings
made in LP mode. We recommend using
the SP mode for important recordings.
Audio cannot be dubbed on tapes
recorded in LP mode.
If you make recordings in both SP and
LP modes on the same tape, during
playback you may notice some video
problems in the picture at the point where
the recording mode changes.
When playing back in this camcorder
tapes recorded in LP mode with other
devices or vice versa, you may notice
some problems in the playback picture or
the sound may stop briefly.
