Grid display

With [ 3x3 l ] or [ 6x4 m ], you can display grid lines to help you level the camera vertically or horizontally. Also, with [ 3x3+diag n ], the grid is displayed together with diagonal lines to help you compose with better balance by aligning the intersections over the subject.

Aspect ratio N

You can change the image’s aspect ratio. [ 3:2 ] is set by default. The area surrounding the Live View image is masked in black when the following aspect ratios are set: [ 4:3 ] [ 16:9 ] [ 1:1 ].

JPEG images will be saved with the set aspect ratio. RAW images will always be saved with the [ 3:2 ] aspect ratio. The selected aspect ratio information is added to the RAW image file. When you process the RAW image with Digital Photo Professional (EOS software), this allows you to generate an image with the same aspect ratio that was set for shooting. In the case of the [ 4:3 ], [ 16:9 ], and [ 1:1 ] aspect ratios, the lines to indicate the aspect ratio will appear during image playback, but they are not actually drawn on the image.
