Can only get "4:3" and "compressed 16:9" screen format. Want full "16:9" not compressed. How?

The issue here is the "Format" or "Ratio" of the screen. Currently, it is set to Standard Format or a 4:3 ratio. It may also be set to 480i or 480P scan rate.

You should change it to Wide Screen or 16:9 ratio. Additionally, you will want to display High Definition images by selecting a scan rate of either 720P, 1080i or 1080P - depending on which choices are offered by the TV. Typically the remote will offer a choice of Format. It is possible that the source device (cable TV, DirecTV, Tivo, etc. has a command to cause this too. In any case, the TV, and other source appliances must be set to Wide Screen / 16:9 and 720P or higher to veiw full screen, HD images.

I hope this helps & good luck!

You should be able to navigate this through the buttons on your TV. Hit menu and pull up video settings, then display. It can be set for automatic or constantly in one format (ex. 16:9, 4:3 ratio). Full screen would be 16:9 or letterbox.

Check its screen resolution settings. 4:3 and 16:9. If it is set to 16:9, bottom and top part of the screen will cut off. The same effect will be there if it is set to 'wide' format.

You may record in either wide-screen or normal mode. If you record in wide-screen mode, the video will appear compressed when played back on a normal TV. For full details refer to the "Using the wide mode" section of the manual on page 32 of the manual.

If I understand your question right, you want to see your made pictures at full screen without black areas. Well, if you have a widescreen monitor, you can set the camera to take images in widescreen 16:9 format. Thera are menu settings: 16:9 L (4288x2416) and 16:9 S (1920x1080) or crop your pictures with a dedicated graphic tool program.

Hi welcome to Fixya,
Presently there are 16 formats (sizes) transmitted and you may need to hit a button to show a full screen sometimes on some channels. The format , aspect or size buttons are on both the TV remote and any cable / dish remote you have . set the TV to full or 16x9 if using a cable / dish box, then set the box to the stretch mode and the picture should be full, there may also be a zoom setting that will fill the picture but may cut off the edges.
Respond with more details or try the suggested settings
Thanks
Roety

Programs that are recorded in 16:9 format appear full screen on a 16:9 TV. A program recorded in a standard 4:3 format will either be stretched to fit the screen or have side bars to fill the screen area. In the case of HD channels, the black side bars are part of the picture which is being broadcasted.

See Page 39 of the Online Manual - link below
Goto Camera Menu> Camera Setup > 16:9 > On/Off Make sure you are in camera Mode - see page 46 - modes 16:9 can be used in See also page 77, for details of how 16:9 can be set and used - see below

• The online manual is available from here http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0029661.asp?model=

• The 16:9 mode is an electronically processed effect.
• The 16:9 mode cannot be selected in the Easy Recording mode.
• The multi-image screen cannot be used when the 16:9 format is selected.
• Simultaneous recording on a memory card cannot be used when the 16:9 format is selected.
• If you play back a 16:9 recording on a normal TV, the image appears vertically “squashed” (compressed).

Hi, you can removed this bar by using the picture size function in you menu this is du to the signal
you receive in your tv;if your tv got a full hd signal
choose the 16:9 picture format the bar will disapear
if you dont have 16:9 signal that normal but you can choose full screen mode it should gone , that is 4:3
format extend it to ful screen mode.
good luck and have a nice day.

If the physical size of your screen is 4:3 the only thing it can show is a compressed version. The screen is physically not able to show the true 16:9 version. The true 16:9 HD signal has been developed to show on a screen that is twice as wide as it is long or 16:9 ratio. Your screen is almost square or 4:3 ratio. I hope this helps. Thanks for using fixya.
