User's Manual

Edge lines are extremely effective. They can be so pronounced that you can even monitor the
depth of your focal plane, plus watch it move closer or further into your shot as you adjust your
camera’s focus ring. Changing the color of the edge lines can also make them easier to see in
conditions where their color may match the image. If you find lines are too visually intrusive, you
can select ‘peak’ levels instead. You can change the color of the lines, or switch to using peak
levels via the ‘monitor’ tab in the menu.
Guides
The frame guides feature provides aspect ratio overlays for various cinema, television and
online standards. With guides selected, tap the left or right arrows, or drag the slider icon left or
right to select your frame guide.
The following frame guides are supported:
2.40:1, 2.39:1 and 2.35:1
Displays the broad widescreen aspect ratio compatible with anamorphic or flat widescreen
cinema presentation. The three widescreen settings differ slightly based on the changing cinema
standards over time. 2.39:1 is one of the most prominent standards in use today.
2:1
Displays a ratio slightly wider than 16:9 but not as wide as 2.35:1.
1.85:1
Displays another common flat widescreen cinema aspect ratio. This ratio is slightly wider than
HDTV, but not as wide as 2.39:1.
14:9
Displays a 14:9 aspect ratio used by some television broadcasters as a compromise between 16:9
and 4:3 television sets. Ideally, both 16:9 and 4:3 footage remains legible when center cropped to
fit 14:9. You can use this as a compositional guide if you know your project may be broadcast by a
television station that uses 14:9 cropping.
4:3
Displays the 4:3 aspect ratio compatible with SD television screens, or to help frame shots when
using 2x anamorphic adapters.
2.40:1 frame guides are useful for framing shots to suit a popular flat widescreen cinema format.
