    Correct @Needa In that case, Refer to Page 134 of the User Manual... Go to the SetUp Menu, and select the first option to Reset the Setup Menu... Think of this as an opportunity to upgrade to a better camera... :D

    If there's a black bar at the top of your image AND you're using flash, you're using the wrong Flash Sync speed for that camera. If there are black bars at the top and bottom of your screen, the aspect ratio is set to 16:9... Change the camera's aspect ratio. If the above conditions are not...
