Hey Shacksters -
I'm having a of a time getting the lens memory to work. I found the focus/zoom feature in the picture menu where - I spent time maximizing the 16:9 test frame to fit on my 2.40:1 screen. I also found the menu options for auto picture detection.
What happened next is the frustrating part:
When I put a 2.40:1 blu ray on, it zoomed the picture to fit on the screen but the image was off the bottom of the screen (with a 3-4 inch gap at the top of the screen). So I used the lens shift joy stick to manually raise the picture (and then went back to the settings menu to further zoom the picture and tighten it up). BUT, when I select other menu options (say, contrast for example... or the frame interpolation settings), the specified menu option is displayed off of the screen (partly on the frame and partly on the wall behind). Also, I've tried fooling around with the masking feature... but I can't see any evidence of removal of black bars on the top and bottom of a 2:40-1 movie... I can't see any black bars to begin with!).
I feel like I've hit a stopping point as to where the manual does give enough specifics and/or I'm not sure what I need to do.
The end result of what I'd like is the ability to have the camera switch between 16:9 and 2.40:1 sources... with having to constantly shift the image up and down, etc. But I'd also like to be able to access menu options and have them visible on the bottom of the screen.
Any input you may have on the process I need to go through to get this all set-up, would be great.
