The promise of widescreen video is here, but that's a problem for DV shooters using their in-camera DV Widescreen switching.
Now you can capture 16:9 images without sacrificing resolution or angle of view. Some switchable camcorders work by effectively masking the top and bottom of the chip, utilizing only 75% of the original scan lines, resulting in lost resolution and lost angle of view! The Century Precision 16:9 is a true anamorphic adapter that captures the full 16:9 image onto the 4:3 chip, utilizing every pixel for a full resolution image.
The Century 16:9 Widescreen Adapter allows for partial zooming — one-half to two-thirds of the range (from wide toward telephoto) depending on available light.
