Anamorphic on epic dragon dsmc1

[yves d]

Hey Guys, I’m shooting in 2x anamorphic mode 6k. Was wondering if I lose height resolution? Is there anyway to get full height resolution? I’m noticing I have to frame further away from a subject to get a full body shot and I’m already at a 50. Any wider has too much distortion for me. But the more I pull away from them the more depth I lose. Any solutions? I’m ok with losing horizontal resolution for that one shot.

You could go 6K or 6k 3:2 or 4:3 and then crop in post.

6K ANA 6:5 or 4k ANA 4:3 for high speed but less Rez

I’m already doing 6k 6:5 is that the mode that will give me most vertical resolution? I don’t see 4:3

The max vertical resolution of Dragon is 3160; is that the height of your footage?

6K Ana 6:5 is the full sensor height and results in a 2.4:1 desqueeze without needing additional cropping (hence the best mode for 2x lenses).
