Still photo aspect ratios

[5000msl]

I was going through all the various camera settings, video and still, while on the ground making sample videos/images to test with my editor/computer.

I changed the still photo camera aspect ration to 16:9 from what my memory tells me was 4:3, but when I went to set it back to 4:3 the only other option was 3:2.

Am I going crazy? What aspect ratio options do you see for the M2P? Aspect ratios are not listed in the specs.

Thanks

The only options are 16:9 and 3:2, memory is a funny thing!

Thanks, nod. I guess I'd rather be crazy than have some weird bug in my M2P ;-)

I think there is a bug....
I took DNGs today in 16:9 and 3:2.
When selecting 3:2 the screen didnt change to it (it cropped a tiny tiny bit off each side) and the images saved were not 3:2.

The only actual 3:2 i saw was a jpg made by a HDR shot.

I'll test again tomorrow but im not sure its doing it right.

Photoshop reported that my:
3:2 DNGs were 5464 x 3640 - pretty close to 3:2
16:9 DNGs were 5464 x 3070 (a little cut off the top and bottom, but just as wide)
The sensor size is 5472 × 3648, so 3:2 uses most of the sensor.

I experience the same thing right after a firmware update - I brought up my M2P system with an Ipad and noticed that the aspect was set to 4:3. So, I selected the proper drop down menu and noticed that the only selections were the 2:3 and 16:9. I selected 2:3 and verified. Then I went back to the selection page and noticed NO selection for 4:3, only 16:9 and 2:3. I would like very much to be able to use the native ratio of 4:3. Am I also going crazy?

Native photo aspect ratio on that 1" Sony sensor is 3:2

Native video aspect ratio is 16:9
