Aspect ratio
N
The image’s aspect ratio can be set to [ 3:2 ], [ 4:3 ], [ 16:9 ], or [ 1:1 ].
The area surrounding the image area is masked in black when the
following aspect ratios are set: [
4:3 ] [ 16:9 ] [ 1:1 ].
JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio. RAW images
will always be saved with the [
3:2 ] aspect ratio. The selected aspect
ratio information is added to the RAW image file. When you process
the RAW image with the EOS software, this allows you to generate
an image with the same aspect ratio that was set for shooting. In the
case of the [
4:3 ], [ 16:9 ], and [ 1:1 ] aspect ratios, the lines to indicate
the aspect ratio will appear during image playback, but they are not
actually drawn on the image.
