How come when I record in widescreen it stretches the image to full screen when I upload?

Question

I have a Canon Elura100 and when I record in widescreen the image is stretched when I upload the video. How do I keep it in widescreen when I upload the video to my computer?

Answer 1

Is your monitor widescreen? Perhaps you set up the video player on your PC to stretch the video.
So, check all settings: Camera, video card, video player, and make sure they are all widescreen - or at minimum, check the aspect format of your video player.
