  • GL2: Best for 16:9, 16:9 mode or Not?

    Posted by Derekkent on July 6, 2006 at 6:10 pm

    Hello

    I’ve noticed that when I turn off 16:9 mode, i have a certain area framed, but when turning on 16:9 mode, the image is cropped..
    the area that is recorded is the same that is shown with “16:9 guides”

    my question is, in terms of lost resolution, picture quality etc, and bearing in mind my projects are all 16:9,
    is it best to shoot in 16:9 mode, or to shoot with it off, and crop accordingly?
