Hello,
Right now I am working with a project with a number of DV camcorders
connected to a PC.
Comparing the live DV data on the computer screen with the picture in
the viewfinder and/or flip out LCD, I observe that the viewfinder/LCD
does not show all of the captured picture!
Why is this?
I can understand that in the old-time all-optical cameras it could be
difficult to show an accurate picture in the viewfinder, but in a DV
camcorder, it must be simple to show all of the picture.
Could it be that the manufacturer wants to compensate for the fact that
the DV picture, when shown on a household TV will not be displayed fully??
The cameras right now are all Sony. Maybe other brands behave differently?
