Mode	Picture	Explanation
4:3		4:3 will display a 4:3 picture at its standard 4:3 size.
Zoom		Zoom mode magnifies the central section of the picture.
16:9		16:9 will display the picture at its maximum size but with sight elongation.
Just		Just mode will display a 4:3 picture at its maximum size but with aspect correction applied to the center of the screen so that elongation is only apparent at the left and right edges of the screen. The size of the picture will depend on the original signal.
Panasonic Auto	For an elongated image Image is expandedFor a 4:3 image	The display will automatically become enlarged (depending on the picture source), allowing you to view the picture at its maximum size.Note:Panasonic Auto mode is designed to automatically adjust the aspect ratio to handle a mix of 16:9 and 4:3 program material. Certain 4:3 program material, such as stock market data screens, may occasionally cause the image size to change unexpectedly. When viewing such programs, it is recommended that the ASPECT be set to 4:3.
