„ Display a Grid

You can display a grid consisting of dots or solid lines in

size of the video window can be adjusted to the grid.

where you like.

Display a solid grid with the specified size.

• [Custom]

Displays the [Custom Grid] dialog box.

All solid grids have an aspect ratio of 4:3 so black bars

appear across the top and bottom of the video. To set a

video window with the same aspect ratio (16:9) as the

video from the camera, set a custom grid where [16:9] is

specified for [Aspect Ratio].

Configure a Custom Grid

Selecting [Custom] as a grid type displays the [Custom

Grid] dialog box, where you can configure the size of the

grid.

(1) [Aspect Ratio]

Specify the aspect ratio of the grid frame ([4:3] or

[16:9]).

(2) [Horizontal] and [Vertical]

Specify the number of horizontal and vertical pixels in

the grid frame.

Changing the value for one of the items changes the

value in the other box to maintain a constant aspect

ratio.

(3) [OK] and [Cancel]

Close the dialog box.

If the selected grid aspect ratio is different from the

aspect ratio of the video size set on the camera, black

bars appear across the top and bottom or the left and

right sides of the video.

When [4:3] is selected in [Aspect Ratio], black bars

appear across the top and bottom of the video.
