Functions added by firmware update

Keystone Correction
  Use the following procedure to correct the snapshot of a blackboard, document, poster, photograph, or other rectangular object that is out of square because it was recorded at an angle.
  •Performing keystone correction on an image causes a new (corrected) version (1600 × 1200 pixels) to be stored as a separate file.
   
 
1.
In the PLAY mode, use [<] and [>] to scroll through images on the monitor screen and display the one you want to correct.
 
2.
Select the "PLAY" tab, select "Keystone", and then press [>].
 
This causes a screen that shows all of the objects in the image that qualify as candidates for keystone correction to appear.
 
Note that the above step is possible only when there is a snapshot displayed on the monitor screen.
 
3.
Use [<] and [>] to select the candidate you want to correct.
   
 
4.
Use [▲] and [▼] to select "Correct", and then press [SET].
 
Select "Cancel" to exit the procedure without performing keystone correction.
     
  IMPORTANT!
 
If the original image is smaller than 1600×1200 pixels, the new (corrected) version is the same size as the original one.
 
Keystone correction cannot be performed on the following types of images.
- Movie images and the voice recording file icon
- Images created with MOTION PRINT
- Images recorded with another camera
 
The keystone correction operation cannot be performed if there is not enough memory to store the corrected image.
 
When you display a corrected image on the camera's monitor screen, the date and time indicate when the image was originally recorded, not when the image was corrected.
 
When a keystone corrected image appears on the full-month calendar screen, it is displayed on the date that it was corrected.
