Use the joystick to move around the menu, pressing itas a button to select an option.We recommend setting the camera to the following:Camera Setup - Widescreen - Sets the video record mode between Widescreen (16:9) andStandard (4:3) aspect ratio. It is up to you which you record in, but keep this consistent so allyour footage is in the same ratio.VCR Setup - Rec Mode - Sets the record mode between Standard Play (SP) and Long Play(LP). Long Play will allow you to fit 50% more footage on a tape, but video and audio quality will besignificantly worse. It is only recommended that Long Play should be used if you need tocontinuously record footage that you know will not fit on a 60 minute tape.
