Shooting 2.35:1 Using ML

[Isabella B.]

Hi,

I need to know while shooting in 5D using ML,

A) While selecting 2.35:1 mode in ML while shooting, the sensor will only record the 2.35:1 area? or the 16:9 sensor still records 16:9  but adds up top bottom black bars? i.e that output clip will be of 16:9 ratio but with black bars or the output clip will be of 2.35:1 ratio with no black bars?

B) When we select 2.35:1 recording mode, does the liveview automatically shows the black bars in preview or we still have to go into Livview setting and set the cropmark to 2.35?

Regards

A) If you are asking about ML raw modes: You get that 2.35:1. No more. No less.
Or are you referring to "native" H.264/MOV recording?

B) If you are asking about ML raw modes: You see what you get. Sometimes, at least. Some very demanding/experimental modes may interfere with LiveView.
Again: Are you asking about MLV/raw or H.264/MOV?

Answers are for non-anamorphic modes, only.


And there is no 16:9 sensor. All ML supported cameras have 3:2 sensors.
