How can I set the SP-510 UZ to shoot in a 3:2 aspect ratio?
The SP-510 UZ has a 3:2 aspect ratio setting in the SHQ and HQ quality modes, in all still image shooting modes except GUIDE. To enable 3:2 shooting, turn the mode dial to a shooting mode that supports 3:2 and then press the MENU button. Use the arrow pad to navigate to and select IMAGE QUALITY, and then press the OK/FUNC button to advance to the Image Quality menu. Use the Up or Down arrow to select either the SHQ or HQ quality mode. Each has a small blue arrow pointing to the right. Press the Right arrow on the arrow pad to advance to the aspect ratio options screen. Use the Up or Down arrow to select the 3:2 option, and press OK/FUNC to activate the setting. Press MENU twice to exit the menus. The LCD screen will show black stripes above and below the image area, indicating that you are shooting with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The viewfinder will not show these stripes.
