SHORT-CUT TO INDUSTRY-STANDARD ANAMORPHIC FORMATS
To quickly access industry-standard anamorphic formats, go to Menu > Settings > Project > Format > Anamorphic.
The Anamorphic tab is a short-cut to all of the industry-standard anamorphic formats, so that you can easily
select the most common anamorphic formats. The Anamorphic tab lists the following anamorphic formats:
EPIC DRAGON: Every format with a 5:4 or 4:3 aspect ratio and a 1.3x or 2x anamorphic setting.
SCARLET DRAGON: 5K 6:5 2x.
EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and SCARLET MYSTERIUM-X: 5K 1.22:1 2x
NOTE: The Anamorphic tab only lists industry-standard anamorphic formats. To access all of the anamorphic
and non-anamorphic formats, go to Menu > Settings > Project > Format > Format.

When Lookaround is enabled, the Frame Guide and recording area are scaled down on the display so that you
can see what images will enter the recording area.
To assign a Shading overlay to the Lookaround area (the area outside of the recording area), go to
Lookaround limits the available frame rates. Also, Lookaround is either very limited or not possible for high
resolutions (such as 5K Full Frame in EPIC MYSTERIUM-X and 6K Full Frame in EPIC DRAGON). At high
resolutions, the recording area on the display shows the full sensor area or full sensor height, so there is no
extra room for Lookaround.
