anamorphic video means you shoot with 720x480 pixels that are the same as the 4:3 ratio but those pixels are stretched.
-if you use all 16:9 settings in final cut the anamorphic footage will appear "squished" on a traditional 4:3 tv monitor.
-if you need your footage to play on a non-wide screen tv then drop 16:9 into a non anamorphic 4:3 ratio. Allow for letter boxing.
- if you play from quicktime on the computer the anamorphic will maintain the aspect ratio.
If you camera does not have an anamorphic lens you are technically degrading the image by enlarging it. The Panasonic do not have such a lens, sadly.
More on 16:9
What ever you do, DON"T scale your footage
