How come when you take a pic with the iPhone 5 they don't fill the screen? It's as if the pics are only the size of a 4/4s screen.

Can i change that?

[Karenkcoulter]

Nope. That is the aspect ratio that the camera takes the pics in.

You are not taking a 16:9 picture. The pictures are still 4:3 which is why they don't fill the screen.

Ahhh makes sense, thanks!!!

How can one take a 16:9 landscape photo?

[bamf-hacker]

Not with the stock camera app. I believe ProCam lets you shoot in 16:9

also while shooting a video, you can snap pictures. Those will be 16x9. Not the best solution, but somewhat of an alternative.

Those pics taken during a video are limited by video resolution rather than the full 8MP resolution of the still camera.

Confirmed... Procam does shoot in 16:9. It's one of the options.

Thanks. Don't understand why this isn't available from the get go if the camera has the ability to do it.

[Ringfinger]

Because pictures are 4:3, that's like the standard and stuff. ;-)

Yeah this really bothered me at first as well but got used to it Wish we had an option to shoot in 16:9
