The Canon C300 doesn't have a built-in setting to change the aspect ratio directly. You'll need to adjust it during post-production.
Here are two common methods for changing the aspect ratio:
1. Cropping in Editing Software
- Open your footage in your preferred editing software. Popular options include Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
- Select your clip and use the cropping tool. This will allow you to adjust the frame size and shape.
- Choose your desired aspect ratio. The software may offer presets for common aspect ratios like 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1. You can also manually input custom dimensions.
- Apply the crop and render your video.
2. Using a Plugin or Effect
- Some editing software offers plugins or effects specifically designed for aspect ratio changes. These tools can help you achieve different aspect ratios with more control and flexibility.
- Search for "aspect ratio" or "letterbox" in your editing software's plugin store or effect library.
- Apply the plugin or effect to your footage and adjust the settings to your desired aspect ratio.
Remember: Cropping or changing the aspect ratio will result in some loss of image information. It's important to choose the appropriate aspect ratio based on your project's needs and to ensure the resulting image quality is satisfactory.
