Fuji introduced a new aspect ratio dial located on the top back of the camera, with a notch on the top plate that let's you see the current aspect ratio. While it defaults to 4:3, here are all the additional options:

  • 3:2
  • 16:9
  • 65:24
  • 17:6
  • 3:4 (3:4 vertical)
  • 1:1
  • 7:6
  • 5:4

You can also set it to 'C' and control the aspect ratio with the front dial. The aspect ratio dial offers quite a bit of resistance and isn't the easiest to use.
