How do you create an "in camera squeeze"

[DarkOne]

I've heard much about "in camera squeezing". What is this and how do you do it?

In the MENU select CAMERA SETUP and then ASPECT RATIO....select SQUEEZE mode...to start shooting in the 'IN-camera squeeze mode'. It's that simple.

You shoot in in-camera squeeze mode or letterbox mode, if u want to output your movie on a widescreen tv i.e with 16:9 aspect ratio. Select NORMAL instead, if u have a 4:3 TV.

I shoot in both "squeeze mode & use anamorphic adapters". I use FCP. I capture 16:9. I then output through compressor to SP3. In SP3 I choose "16:9" display and force to "Letterbox" on 4:3.

This way, if you play your production back on a widescreen TV, it's going to be widescreen. If you play it back on a 4:3 TV, it's letterboxed. Looks great both ways.

This is ONLY if your shooting the 100A correct? I mean if you have a 100 like me you cannot shoot in squeeze mode right?
