[Onscreen Markers] (recording mode only): You can display
16:9 area markers, a grid, or a horizontal line at the center of the
screen. Use the markers as a reference to make sure your sub-
ject is framed correctly (vertically and/or horizontally).

used as a convenient reference to check the area that will be
recorded.
• Using the onscreen markers will not affect the recordings.

display the recording date and time during playback.
