My 7D is showing a black horizontal bar that takes up the upper 3rd of the display. When capturing video, the bar is captured as well. However, shooting/displaying photos works perfectly fine and images display correctly. I tried updating firmware. I have attached a photo. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Do you have aspect ratios set?

Video is 16:9, stills are 3:2. The video does not have bars when played on a 16:9 device. There are bars on the display when you display a 16:9 video on the LCD - they are not "captured"

Set aspect ratio to 3:2 and it will go away.

There is no 3:2 aspect ratio for video. But you can select VGA resolution, which is a 4:3 ratio, and the lines will change to a different shape.
