Exporting a still image from FCP (so it stays 16x9)

Hi everyone, I have some HVX 200 720P 16x9 footage in FCP and I want to export one frame as a still image. I go to "export using QT conversion" and select format etc.... what's got me scratching my head, is that the stills always render out as 4:3 vertically squashed... I can fix this in in Photoshop, but shouldn't there be a way to just export a nice 16x9 still like we see in FCP? I tried exprting from the viewer as well as from the canvas. Any help is appreciated! I searched here and googled it, to no answer.

thanks!
 
Make sure your sequence settings are set to 16x9 which I'm sure they are already but that might be the reason, it asks if you want to use chosen settings or chose a new setting on export I think.

That is a screenshot, I meant about getting a Still out of FCP from DVCPRO HD so that it maintains the correct 16X9 ratio.

You can get a quicktime still movie in photo JPEG form.
