Why YSK: I’ve been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I’ve asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.
This. I always make sure to check the maximum aspect ratio of cameras I use. No point in wasting pixels and field of view.
@Zak@lemmy.world do you have a source for this?
You can check it yourself, just set ratio to 3:4, aim camera so some object will be in corner, and then change to 9:16/full, or whatever that’s bigger. You will see that the object won’t be visible. And sorry if I made a language mistake.
I’m lucky that my phone (Realme x3) defaults to the 16:9 but has a 64mp option that switches to 4:3 with one tap. Best of both worlds.
Why is it better than just using 4:3 at all times?
