Recording 4:3 Video on the Lumix G7

Hi all,

Is there a way to record 4:3 video in 4k on the lumix g7, I can't find an aspect ratio setting whilst on motion picture recording, and on manual the image size changes to 16:9 whenever I press record as well as auto exposure being turned on.

Any comments are helpful,

Harvey

You can record 4:3 video in 4k photo mode.

How? I've tried and it puts it back in 16:9.

Because you're trying to shoot video presumably.

Just take a photo. In 4k photo mode, you're essentially shooting video when you take pictures. And make sure you've set it to 4:3 aspect ratio of course.

The resulting file will probably need transcoding to a more friendly codec btw.
