Aspect Ratio - Canon EOS 7D Mark II Instruction Manual

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 ratioN
The image's aspect ratio can be set to [3:2], [4:3], [16:9], or [1:1].
The area surrounding the Live View image is masked in black when
one of the following aspect ratios is 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. Since aspect ratio
information is appended to the RAW image, the image can be
generated in the set aspect ratio when you process the RAW image
with the camera or EOS software. When you display RAW images
on the camera, aspect ratio lines will be displayed to show the image
area.
