The camera may well be 16:9 at the CCD chip but the tape format only records
720X480
The lines scanend from the CCD block are subsampled donw to 720 onto tape.
Creating an anamorphic image on tape.
When you capture you need to flag that the source is 16:9 (don't know how
this is done in FCSE) it will then stretch it horizontally to come back to
16:9
Don't feel cheated, even Digibetas work this way in 16:9 mode.
