These frames do not tell the entire story truthfully. Due to the width of the lenses, the camera is moved forward and backwards to fill the frame with the resolution test image. As a result, the resolution measurements are not necessarily at the centerpoint of the frame, where resolution is always highest. However, had the zoom feature of the camcorders been used, it would have a significant impact on the resolution measurement.

As a result, some lenses may appear to offer a slightly lower resolution than they actually present, while at the same time, resolution is obviously decreased as the camera is moved backwards from the test screen/target. In the case of the Baby Death and Royal .3 images for instance, the camcorder is less than 6" away from the target image/chart.
