GL1 16:9 on TV	Can't Post

I read that you can shoot in 16:9 with the GL1, but that the resulting picture will be distorted on a regular 4:3 TV. Is there any way to reproduce the widescreen effect on a normal TV?

You'll need to bring in your anamorphic video into an editing software package and resize to 720x360 and render out. Instead of rehashing the info, you can go to this webpage for more info:
