Vixia Hf r800 shooting mode?

atkinson40 — Sun, 21 Jun 2020 14:30:55 GMT

I want to record with the camera frame with the longest side of the frame going top to bottom. I need to have the frame taller than wider. How can I do this in the camera.

Thanks Kevin

That's not something camcorders are designed to do. Portrait video has come about with mobile phones. I know of no camcorders that can change their aspect ratio this way.

OK. I will turn the camcorder sideways and then rotate the video in a video editing software after I record it.

I'm making a video of myself doing a yoga practice for my students to practice to while we are at home. I'm six feet tall and the in the space I have, I need to shoot long wise.

I've seen other instructors post videos on youtube this way, so they must be using cell phones.

Thanks Kevin
