Importing native 16/9?

Hi,

I've been using premiere for many years now, but I always used it with letterbox or squeeze 16/9. Now I have a FX1 with native 16/9 and I'd like to know if there is any particular setting to import its' footage (I shoot in HD but I import to premiere in SD)? Another thing I'd like to know is: do I have to put the black bars my self (like on non-native 16/9) or will the image automaticly adjust to 16/9 on the TV? I know these questions sound kind of silly, but it's the first time I'm working with native 16/9.

Thanks,

Rafa
 
I'm using Premiere 6.0. I "cannot" upgrade because my matrox rt2000 is no compatible with premiere pro (even though I have the premiere pro 1.5 cd)...so, when I upgrade my pc, I have to upgrade everything. The native 16/9 issue on premiere is taken care of, but now the issue is with After Effects 6.5...whenever I take the perfect native 16/9 footage I imported with premiere and try to use it on After FX, no matter the timeline I choose, the image is always "weird". When I select Pal widescreen, the image apears super sequeezed horizontaly...
 
AE has a pixel aspect ratio correction setting that you can turn on or off - it's off by default (just showing you square pixels). Don't worry about it - when you bring it back into Premiere for your final edit it should be fine. Or you can turn the setting on (can't remember how off the top of my head, but root around a bit. Maybe in the menus, maybe a button on the preview window).
