I dont have a 16x9 tv monitor yet but want to start shooting video in that form.
if i understand correctly there are several different options to get that ratio in one way or another, but what is the bottom line on each?:
cinema mode: basically records in 4x3 with black bars masking it to look like 16x9 on the viewfinder/lcd
but...
what does it look like on a 4x3 dvd monitor
what does it look like on a 16x9 monitor?
16x9 mode: basically records in 16x9 and squeezes into the 4x3 viewfinder/lcd
but...
what does it look like on a 4x3 dvd monitor
what does it look like on a 16x9 monitor?
and there are other option i have seen listed in forum too... frame mode, pro cinema, etc.. how do they look on monitor?
basically i want to think about the future of widescreen tv's, but also want to be realistic that much of my audience will always be a 4x3 monitor, and would hate for them to watch squeezed video
