The FIRST Sony camera that can do this

In this video we use the Sony A7CII and 16-35mm F2.8 GM MK II to take photos that look like movie stills using a new feature available on the camera.

So my A7Cii finally turned up and it's possible to bake in the aspect markers into the JPEGs in-camera by going into the playback menu and selecting 'crop'. Once in the crop setting you select 'follow aspect marker' and it will generate a new jpeg with the 2.35:1 crop applied (this crop menu also allows you to select other aspect ratios in here and scale the crop larger/smaller).

Well done for finding something unique to cover on the a7C II that other creators haven't covered yet - great job, Chris! Really interesting idea and video! 👌

[CartyCantDance]

The GXACE shoutout is sublime. One of the best creators on this site
Great video Chris!

[Projects.]

and this is why you're my favorite camera youtuber. NOBODY else talked about this awesome new feature! Thanks for always bringing a fresh perspective in your videos!

Can't believe people are finally using the PP menu for simulations. I did that on the a7II when it came out, posted about it on reddit and everyone thought I was insane. 😂

[oceanfong]

is it possible to show the settings you use to achieve these colours? They look real nice 👍

[eike.zender]

Would be interested in which of his simulation presets you have used. Since he has so many its hard to choose 😂 and I love how your photos turned out ❤

[JLee]

Which film simulations were you using for those photos? Plz I really want to know👀

[MarcoRompiettiOfficial]

Hi, congratulations on your content. I liked the colors you used for these photos. Can I ask you which color profile you chose? I already bought the pdf with all the various settings

[nickhargansmedia]

I love that your videos aren't 1 million minutes long. TY

[PhillipSkraba]

I love taking photos in cinemascope, it makes me feel arty.

[bryanbuff]

I love that you can adjust the opacity of the margins outside the aspect markers now. What a great feature.

[JeppPadilla]

I wish the older gen can get this feature. But hey, it's Sony... :(
Love it, Chris

[PaulFeinberg]

Wow those colors are pretty sweet straight out of the camera. Impressive. Great video bud!

[megatryn]

YES! Love panormic photography. I've been considering the GFX to get access to panoramic shooting, the A7cII has been on my list. But this has sold me now. Defenitely getting the A7cII now. Thank you for showing this! ❤
My search is done!

[BasicObject]

I appreciate you showing A7CII/R menus. Not a lot of coverage of all the options yet. Thanks! The 1:1 ratio photos interest me. They look like the old square photos!

[RiskyBizness]

Fantastic Chris, thank you. I had seen this mentioned when I was looking at buying the camera but wasn't sure how to set it up. Look forward to capturing some cinematic shots now.

[josephschimmer]

This is jaw dropping (GFX shooter here) instantly subscribed!

This is definitely a really nice feature. For those who don't have the option it is worth investigating the older way of doing it. I have an RX100m6 and an A7Riii and both have aspect ratio settings that I use all the time. The RX has 1:1, 16:9, 4:3. The A7Riii only has 16:9 for some reason. Both only affect the JPG. The raws remain as they are.

[brokeboogeyman]

this is exactly why I used to shoot 16:9 on my old Sony NEX C-3. While I realize thats not the same thing, it allowed for a restriction in composition enough for me to use my eyes and crop in post if I had to.
