Hey,

So, call me a strange man but I love footage the more cropped it is. At first 16.9 was enough, then 2.39, now I seem to love 3.00 cropping. It just looks so PRETTY!

I was wondering if there was an easy way to mask the lcd for it on the EX1?

When I've been cropping for 2.35 I just put a thin line of masking tape across the 80% safety line, which was a tip I got from here, was is most useful.

For 3.00 I was going to just point the camera at my monitor which has a 3.00 cropped image on it, but I was wondering if there was a more precise way.
 
I like the wide aspect ratios too. If I were gonna do it, I'd take some precise measurements of the LCD (in mm I guess), find the lines manually, and place tape. Then I'd shoot some test footage, bring it into my editor and double check what I've got.
