I am driven to join this one because of my disappointment at the photo ratio on my new IPhone X ![]() I don’t usually add to any debate as I am so slow to type and not too good on pc so please forgive any mistakes. (Interesting side note, I note that when I take a photo using Whatsapp on my iPhone, it also seems to use the 16:9 ratio by default). My iPhone photos are now optimized for my TV viewing experience. #SPARKBOOTH KEEPS DEFAULTING TO 4X6 HOW TO#Note that I found an article ( ) that explains how to use this function in Camera +. ![]() Thank goodness I ran into this thread and saw there is a free app (Camera +) that allows you to easily take all of your standard photos using the 16:9 ratio. I was really disappointed by the default photo ratio of the iPhone and that there does not seem to be a way to change the aspect ratio. Well I recently switched to an iPhone 7 (my employer "made me" do it). I believe that the Galaxy, by default, uses the 16:9 ratio. #SPARKBOOTH KEEPS DEFAULTING TO 4X6 ANDROID#Until recently, I was using a Galaxy Android and all photos were automatically maximized. #SPARKBOOTH KEEPS DEFAULTING TO 4X6 FULL#I like it best when the photos are optimized for full screen mode and take up the entire screen. My favorite way to view my photos is full screen mode on my large, living room HD TV (have a laptop hooked up to one of the HDMI ports). All before taking the photo and whichever choice you make that choice is the default the next time you start the camera app.ĭIsclaimer: I recently purchased a camera app that offers choices for aspect ratio BEFORE taking a photo. So a 4圆, 5x7, 8x10, 16:9(native aspect ratio of iphones and 98% of people's TV's or computer displays) and if you must 1:1(square) option. Similar to the useless "square" setting (hello?.Instagram no longer requires square-only photos), give us an option for 4圆 INSTEAD of 3:2 which can confuse people and besides, when you go to your local film developing place the prints are called and have been called 4圆 loooooong before Apple started making iPhones. How about Apple give us the ability to choose what aspect ratio we'd like to take the photo in. I dont have time to think "wait a second, remember if you want to print this shot on a 4圆 print you have to account for the crop that will need to be done so give yourself more room etc". When I compose a shot I typically use the display/viewfinder edges as my guide for what to include or exclude from the frame. ![]() Old "square" tube televisions use to be 4:3 but who uses one of those to view their iphone images? Even the iphone screen when turned horizontal to "landscape" mode is not 4:3 so why does Apple even have this as a default setting for taking photos on what they tout as a "high-end" camera? WHY? Because the native aspect ratio of the iphone camera is 4:3!! Seriously?!?!? NOTHING in this world is no longer 4:3 aspect ratio. Upon returning home and wanting to print 4圆 (2:3) prints of my faves for our album only to realize that some major cropping will have to be done to 100% of my images. I just recently returned from a cruise in the Mediterranean with my family and i took probably close to 600 photos using the iphone 6s plus. My beef isn't with the image quality(although I dearly wish HDR would be much better but I digres.) Let me say this up front I'm fairly happy with the image quality of the camera. I don't know if anyone else is as mystified as me about this but here is my gripe with the interface and capture process of the iPhone's camera. ![]()
