Settings
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.
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.
Grid
The grid feature displays a ‘thirds’ overlay with two vertical and horizontal lines placed in each
third of the image. Tap ‘on’ or ‘off’ to view or hide the thirds overlay.
Thirds are an extremely powerful tool to help compose your shots. For example, the human eye
typically looks for action near the points where the lines intersect, so it’s helpful to frame key
points of interest in these zones.
2.39:1 frame guides are useful for framing shots to suit a popular
flat widescreen cinema format.
Resolution
The resolution setting is displayed as ‘res’ on the touchscreen and displays the resolution of
your connected input format. For example, 2160p, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc. The following video
formats are supported:

TIP An actor’s eyeline is commonly framed along the top third of the screen, so
you can use the top horizontal third to guide your framing. Thirds are also useful
to maintain framing consistency between shots.
