Does this camera have the grid lines? I am trying to find a camera wit 170^ angle WITHOUT THE GRID LINES.

Yes it has grid lines. I acutualy love them. It helps me gauge how close I am to things when backing up.

No. the distant line is from the camera, not the display. BTW, this is an inferior product. It is ok at night, but during the day when the sun light is bright, you will not be able to see the image.

No. It only has the display. That can be an issue when there iis glare on the display. Especially when you are trying to view a previously taken picture. I still would recommend this camera. It is simple to use and the quality of the pictures are great.

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

No, That depends on the camera model you have, not all cameras have the grid lines built into them. Your camera must be centered in the back for the best/safe results.

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

The angle of view is very narrow. I would say 50 degrees at best. I returned the camera because of the narrow field of view. It is defiantly no where close to 160 or 180, as another person has commented, as that would be wide enough to view both sides of a straight wall.

Bill, the camera takes the standard 4x6 and wild angle shots. The Barn answered correctly regarding croping your photes into square photos. I don't know of any digital camera that will do this on its own.

This camera certainly comes with the wires for the lines. You'll have to physically join the 'green' wire to get the lines on this camera. I am surprised the factory camera doesn't have the lines. Have you checked with your service rep? There could be a similar wire in that setup as well.

That's actually a software question rather than a camera/hardware feature. I don't use the software included with the camera but just using the standard Windows Photo Gallery it is easy to rotate the picture to any orientation you like and it is automatically saved in that orientation for future viewing.

This a video camera only. It does have grid like lines on the monitor that help you judge distance.

The picture with the camera in the center is incorrect. Front and rear cameras are on the corner. Do not rely on the cameras though, they are extremely poor quality. The display is of course why I purchased one and it doesn't disappoint. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't have lines but you won't miss the lines with the quality of the picture it captures.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

You can change the image format via the camera to one that has a square aspect ratio and therefore the images will look vertical, but you should not turn the camera 90 degrees. The camera has to be horizontal for proper 3D.
