| Solution |
Normally, images are recorded at the sensor size of approx. 36.0 mm x 24.0 mm (full-frame shooting). You can record only the center of the image magnified approx. 1.3x (equivalent to APS-H size) or approx. 1.6x (equivalent to APS-C size) as if you were using a telephoto lens (crop shooting) or set the desired aspect ratio before you shoot.
Setting Crop/Aspect Ratio 1. Set the camera’s power switch to [ON].
2. Set the mode dial to [P / Tv / Av / M / B].
3. Press the [MENU] button to display the menu screen.
4. Press the [  ] button to select the [  ] tab.
5. Turn the [  ] dial to select the [  ] tab.
6. Turn the [  ] dial to select [Crop/ aspect ratio], then press [  ].
7. When the [Crop/aspect ratio] screen is displayed, turn the [ ] dial to select the desired option. [Viewfinder shooting]
- Turn the [ ] dial to select [Fullframe], [1.3x (crop)], [1.6x (crop)], or [1:1 (aspect ratio)].
- If you set [4:3 (aspect ratio)] or [16:9 (aspect ratio)] and use the viewfinder to shoot, the shooting result will be the same as with [Fullframe].
Live View shooting
- You can select any setting.
8. If you would like to change the shooting area display, with the screen displayed in step 7, press the [INFO.] button.
If you will not change the shooting area display, press [
] and go to step 11.
9. When the [Shooting area] screen is displayed, select either [Masked] or [Outlined], then press [ ].
Viewfinder shooting
- The shooting area in the viewfinder will be masked or have frame lines.
- The area surrounded by the semitransparent masking or frame lines will be recorded as an image.
- With [
 ] set in [1.3x (crop)] or [1.6x (crop)], the shooting area in the viewfinder cannot be magnified.
Example
With [1.6x (crop)] ・ [ ] With [1:1 (aspect ratio)], ・ [  ]
Live View shooting
- When [1.3x (crop)] or [1.6x (crop)] is set, the displayed image will be magnified by approx. 1.3x or 1.6x respectively.
- Regardless of the [Shooting area] setting, the area shown by the displayed image will be recorded.
- If you select [1:1 (aspect ratio)], [4:3 (aspect ratio)], or [16:9 (aspect ratio)], the area surrounded by the masking or frame lines will be recorded as an image.
Example
With [1.3x (crop)]
With [4:3 (aspect ratio)] ・ [ ]
10. The screen shown in step 7 is displayed.
Press [ ] again to proceed to step 11.
11. You can shoot after completing the settings.
IMPORTANT
- The [
 : Crop/aspect ratio] setting does not work with movie shooting and multiple exposures.
- The 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios cannot be used with viewfinder shooting.
- [
 : Add cropping information] can be set only when [Full-frame] has been set for Crop/aspect ratio.
- An external Speedlite’s flash zoom (automatic flash coverage) will not work in tandem with the [ : Crop/aspect ratio] setting.
NOTE
- The image coverage with viewfinder shooting will be as follows:
- With [1.3x (crop)]: Approx. 99% vertical/horizontal coverage.
- With [1.6x (crop)]: Approx. 98% vertical/horizontal coverage.
- With [1:1 (aspect ratio)]: Approx. 100% vertical and approx. 99% horizontal coverage.
- When the image-recording quality is RAW, the image will be recorded in full-frame and the Crop/aspect ratio setting will be appended. During RAW image playback, the shooting area will be indicated by frame lines on the full-frame display. However, in a slide show, only the shooting area will appear.
- If you use [ : Custom Controls] to assign [Switch between crop/aspect] to the [M-Fn] button, you can press the [M-Fn] button during viewfinder shooting or Live View shooting to switch the Crop/aspect ratio shooting area.
- During Live View shooting, you can use the Quick Control screen to set [Crop/aspect ratio].

NOTE
- The items marked with an asterisk do not exactly match the indicated aspect ratio.
- For JPEG image file sizes, see the figures for full-frame shooting in the camera’s instruction manual. The file size of an image taken with the [ : Crop/aspect ratio] set will be smaller than an identical image taken with [Full-frame] set.
- The file size and maximum burst of RAW images are the same as those of full-frame shooting.
