Does the HVX200p only shoot 16:9?

[Benjamin Tubb]

In 480i, you can shoot either way.

There’s 3 recording modes available for 480i on the HVX200p:

Normal – standard 4:3 recording.

Letterboxed – 16:9, just 4:3 with the top and bottom chopped off.

Squeezed – records 16:9 but squeezes it into a 4:3, so you can strecth it back out later for true 16:9.

Hope that helps,
