Changing the Aspect Ratio

Solution

 

When the camera is set to [P], [Tv], [Av], [M] mode, the camera’s aspect ratio for images can be changed during Live View shooting. You can select from [3:2], [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1].
NOTE
  • The aspect ratio is set to [3:2] by default.
  • When [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1] is set, lines will appear to indicate the shooting range.
  • The area surrounding the Live View image is masked in black when the following aspect ratios are set: [4:3] [16:9] [1:1].
  • JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio.
  • RAW images will always be saved with the [3:2] aspect ratio. The selected aspect ratio information is added to the RAW image file. When you process the RAW image with the provided software, this allows you to generate an image with the same aspect ratio that was set for shooting. In the case of the [4:3], [16:9], and [1:1] aspect ratios, the aspect-ratio lines will appear during image playback, but the lines are not actually drawn on the image.
IMPORTANT
The position and shape of the operation buttons may differ depending on the model you use.

 

 

1. Set the camera's power switch to [ON].

 

 

2. Set the mode dial to one of the Creative Zone modes within the area indicated in the image below.
