3. Toggle it on

4. Adjust the anamorphic intensity to control how pronounced the effect is

5. Look for lens flare settings and enable if desired

6. Fine-tune any color grading options to match your desired mood

Composing Anamorphic Shots

Anamorphic effects shine when you have bright light sources in frame—position the sun, moon, or bright blocks to one side of your shot. The effect creates horizontal streaks and glows that enhance cinematic appeal. Combine anamorphic mode with depth of field for maximum impact: keep your main subject sharp while the anamorphic flares bloom in the blurred background. This technique works especially well for landscape shots, sunset scenes, and action sequences. Reduce intensity for subtle elegance or maximize it for bold, stylized visuals.
