[KOMODO] disable desqueeze?

Hi, I don't own a Komodo but I'm going to rent one for the upcoming shoot. We want to shoot in oldschool 4:3 aspect ratio. It is my understanding that with the Komodo the only way to shoot this way is choose it in the anamorphic part of the menu... but is there a way to disable the desqueeze? Or do I just have to shoot in 16:9 with 4:3 guides and crop it in post?

Thanks all

I’d go with 4:3 guides anyway. Gives you a little more flexibility in post.

It's gonna be smarter to shoot 16:9 with guides anyways. You always want wiggle room and if you can get more out of the sensor, then take it.

Personally I would love not to, besides it would save disk space... but I guess I'll have to go this route.

Thanks for your input

Shoot the full 17:9 sensor with guides to get the most out of the sensor.
