Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 Angle of View Differences: Detailed Menu vs. Simple Menu

Just today I noticed a difference in the angle of view between the Detailed Menu setting and the Simple Menu setting on my Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10 video camera. The angle of view is wider in the Simple Menu setting than the Detailed Menu setting. Why these settings affect the camera in such a way is beyond me. In the Simple Menu, the angle of view is wider, but fewer settings are manually adjustable; in the Detailed Menu, the angle of view is not as wide, but all camera settings are fully adjustable. I shot this video with a Sakar Digital Optics Universal 0.5x Wide Angle Clip-On Lens attached to the camera.

I just tried your test and can see no difference between the menu settings at all, weird. I have been very disappointed at how narrow the cg10s lens is.
