Hello everyone. I've looked around here and can seem to find info about the HVX having 4:3 aspect frame markers in the VF or LCD while shooting in 720 or 1080P.

I'm hoping it does, since even the sony Z1 has this feature and is great for shooting 4:3 protected HD. (usually for downconversion)

can anyone answer this?
 
I can't see why it wouldn't have it, I'd think it's a safe bet that it will. But I haven't found anywhere that confirms it either...
 
It certainly seems like a no-brainer, but I wouldn't make any assumptions. I've never seen Jan make a post about it (or any information on Panasonic's site) that suggests it exists, so it may very well not.

Even more than a 4:3 safe overlay, I'd love to have a 2.35:1 overlay as well. I believe the XL H1 has this, which I wholeheartedly give them kudos for. Hopefully we'll have more answers soon (anyone wanna ask Tosh?) :-p
 
According to the magazine article written by Panasonic rep which I posted a while back, markers would be;

Area / Safety Zone 90% / 4:3 Marker

The other stuff I quoted then are now confirmed by the Japanese spec page, so this is very likely to be true, I think.
