I want 1.85:1 !!
What would be the best method to shoot in 1.85:1? Is there a converter? Do I just frame carefully and crop in post? If thats the case do I just tape bars on my external monitor? I want it to be precise, I don't want to have to do a pick up just because someones head is cut off? Please help.

1.85:1 is really close to 16:9, which would be 1.78:1. On a monitor with square pixels, 16:9 works out to 854x480 in the NTSC world. 1.85:1 would be 854x462. So a 9 pixel wide black band at the top and bottom of a 16:9 frame would give you 1.85:1. On most TV sets that would probably disappear into the overscan area of the image and not even be visible.
Why not just work in 16:9, which is a standard? |

Better make sure the canon adapter will work on your system. |

If I read correctly, that adapter is for 2/3 chips, not 1/3 (XL1s)
