The short answer is yes. Research 4 Channel Mode and MTR (multi track recording)
https://helpwiki.evergreen.edu/wiki/index.php/Zoom_H4n_Audio_Recorder_Operating_Guide
4CH Mode – Simultaneously uses the H4n’s built in stereo mic and inputs [1] and [2]. Recording volumes are controlled by source. Before using the REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button, you must first choose which source you wish to modify the volume for by pressing the corresponding input select button.
NOTE: The REC LEVEL (+) or (-) button should not be confused with the VOLUME (+) or (-) button found on the other side of the recorder. The VOLUME button controls the levels of audio output (the speakers or headphones).
MTR Mode – MTR mode is designed to record onto 4 separate tracks. Each of the tracks can be recorded and modified independently from any of the others. Additionally, tracks 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 can be recorded together. Each track can record from any of the input sources. To begin recording in MTR mode:
Choose which track (or pair of tracks) you would like to record to.
Choose the inputs you would like to record onto that track.Steve Crow

Tangier, thanks for responding, good to hear that I’m not too far off base to start with my ideas…I’ve only edited projects solo myself so this is going to be “interesting” haha

I’m not really concerned with 4:3 screens – I’ve decided to post my images on 500px

Oh, because the whole point of my little project is to create widescreen still images (cinemascope aspect ratio) as if the still image might be a single frame taken from a movie. I’m putting a white border all around the image to almost look like that frame from the “movie” has been matted like a traditional photograph and framed you might say.
My iPhone 7 plus has a screen resolution of 1920-by-1080-pixel resolution (16:9) at 401 ppi and I’m working with images in a totally different aspect ratio and resolution so it’s never going to be straightforward but that’s just part of the “fun” of this project to see how can I work around/with these challenges. If it were easy, everybody would be doing it right? haha

Hi Chris,
Yes, I shot an image of a horse recently with my iPhone 7 plus in the native camera app with the Moondog Labs anamorphic lens attached to the “wide” lens. The camera shoots a 4K still image (4032 x 3024), roughly equivalent to a 28mm according to apple. When I look at the hair of the horse at 100% magnification I do see lots of blockyness (however you spell that) And that could be down simply to the camera being unable to resolve such fine detail and maybe causing a moire type of effect.
I’m creating some new procedures for myself as I work towards my goal of creating a cinemascope 2.36:1 still image which is pretty heavily color graded.
BTW, I know this isn’t the right forum for still images but if I wanted to post my images online – do you know of a site that would accept an image that it is Cinemascope wide? Instagram wants to crop it to square which defeats my purpose. I was thinking maybe 500px but I haven’t done much real research into it yet

Thanks for your response on this – I’m doing some experiments now in Photoshop to dive into this further – you may be right. Although the camera lens and image sensor is so small that I wonder if even a small stretch might have quality impact

In that same Red Hot Chili Peppers exterior shot I’m not seeing any diffusion paper either – so now I am kind of back to is it some kind of flat flexible lighting panel arrangement – hmmm a mystery

Hmmm you could be right Todd but then what are the horizontal stripes? Maybe they just taped some diffusion type of paper up there and that’s what it is – not sure either! 🙂

No, it’s some kind of flat artificial lighting installed into the roof of the car – quite large. Could be a Land Rover however, don’t know. See the pictures I attached in my original post to view what I am talking about
