Sorry when I say 'monitor' in the second chunk of text I mean the viewfinder- *What would be the best way to manually mark the frame lines on the camera viewfinder/monitor (FS7 only has a digital monitor and not a built in viewfinder) if it cannot be set up to appear on the viewfinder through the camera settings*

Thanks for this. I don't think the FS7 has the 2:1 settings in its 'aspect select' settings. only the following: 4:3 / 1.66:1 / 1.85:1 / 2.35:1 / 2.4:1 What would be the best way to manually mark the frame lines on to the monitor if it cannot be set on the camera viewfinder? I'm a little reluctant to do this anyway just in case measurements etc can be done wrong. Would the image not be cropped horizontally across the top and the bottom and then enlarge the remaining image (originally shot in 16:9 aspect ratio)? This is what the channel have told us will happen. Meaning that you would have to be careful of top and bottom framing leaving extra room? Also what is dci2K? I'm a self shooter not a cam op/DOP so I don't have the most extensive knowledge. Thanks for all your help with my questions ?

Hi All, I'm currently working on a new TV show, filming on FS7 and the exec would like to programme to air in 2:1 aspect ratio. She's said that this can be done in post by letterboxing so long as we are shooting 2k RAW so the image can be cropped. Is this correct? This means that my framing will be off and I can't seem to find any marker settings for 2:1 on the user settings. She's suggested taping the monitor screen so that the framing will be more on point? I don't see how this can work can anyone help? Thanks.
