YSK: Your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3; setting it to anything else crops your photos
  • One issue with shooting uncropped is that the composition will most likely take advantage of the aspect ratio you are using and not necessarily crop well. Composing the shot in the aspect ratio that you intend to display it is actually a better technique unless you are very skilled and able to imagine how you're going to crop it in the future.

  • YSK: Your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3; setting it to anything else crops your photos
