let me get this straight. 16X9 Stretch

[Brett]

okay I just got my 100b and Ive heard all the controversy over the stretch mode and everything frankly I dont care about quality loss, I just want to know if I need to go into the camera and change it to stretch then change the settings from 4x3 to 16x9 correct? those are the only 2 things i need to do to shoot in that setting correct?

listen, some people say shoot in 4:3...then crop to what you want...but I don't do that because you actually loose more resolution...the best way to go, and the way I do it...is to shoot stretch, set your LCD screen to auto, or 16:9 for the aspect ratio, so you can see it correctly...and when you edit....you just have to unstretch the image, unless your using a program that you can tell to unstretch and so forth...then crop to what you want....I shoot 2.35:1

your camera should already be set to auto if you just bought it new the only think you would have to do is change it to squeeze and make sure your timeline you are editing on is in anamorphic


and also WAB i think what you mean is 2:40:1 or should i say 2:39 2:35:1 hasn't been used for over 38 years

right now i have it on squeeze and on 16x9 and i see the bars on top and bottom so im good right?

Good you are, yes, hrmmmm

But I also recommend amping detail level up just a smidgen to counter the small amount of quality loss. It's basically in-camera sharpening, so I would say don't go overboard with it.

Detail level can actually introduce some noise in the image, then you need to apply coring to counteract that a little. Read your manually carefullt with respect to scenefiles and what all the settings do. Barry Greens book is great for this as well.
Congrats on your new love!
