3.9 Anamorphic Recording
Anamorphic was a technical choice for filming, but now it is an aesthetic preference. Echo to more
affordable anamorphic lenses, TERRA 4K, MAVO and MAVO LF are also good choices for anamorphic
shooting, as the CMOS imaging sensors are all 3:2.
The 36x24mm full frame CMOS imaging sensor of MAVO Edge 8K is like a huge canvas, allowing creators to
easily achieve various anamorphic shots on it:
 S35 anamorphic;
 Full frame anamorphic, obtaining a field of view equivalent to 65mm;
 Open Gate: 8192x5288. All pixels of the CMOS imaging sensor are captured, leaving maximum space
for post processing.
The camera supports 2x, 1.8x, 1.75x, 1.5x, 1.33x, 1.25x, 0.5x, 0.67x anamorphic shooting, which falls into
almost all anamorphic lenses on the market.
When use 2x anamorphic lens:
Format Resolution FPS De-Squeezed
FF 8K 3:2, OG 8192x5288 45 16384x5288
S35 4:3 Ana 4864x3600 60 9728×3600
S35 6:5 Ana 4864x3840 60 9728×3840
When shooting at 4:3 with anamorphic lens, you can de-squeeze the images
on the monitor into normal image by setting anamorphic lens factor in
MENU. For example, when anamorphic lens factor is 2, set the factor in
camera to 2, then you can get 2.66:1 instead of normal view of 4:3.
To set the ratio, see the operation on the right.
NOTICE The recorded clips are 4:3 instead of de-squeezed images. The monitoring images depend on
the ratio you set. You can see a normal image while monitoring, but the actual clips are still 4:3.
