Photos with Camera are not wide?

[warrenx]

Hey guys,

So I'm new to iphone. I'm taking wide pictures with my camera (horizontal). I don't mean panorama, just the axis of the camera. When I go to look at these photos I have a couple of problems. First, the photos don't seem to be wide in the sense that they take up the whole screen of the camera, they appear square, secondly, I will take some photos where I clearly shoot horizontally and when I look at the photos with horizontal orientation rotation it is as if I took them vertically (could this be an internal gyroscope issue?). Sorry this is a little confusing. Thank you for any and all help. 😃

Your camera can take square pictures. Look at the setting right above the shutter button. You can change it by swiping left or right.

My pics are definitely not square, but also once taken they don't take up the entire iPhone screen and never have.

If you take a horizontal pic it can still be viewed vertically if you tilt your phone

Correct. They are still in a 4:3 ratio and when apple when to the 4" 16:9 ration with the 5 the photo size stayed a traditional 4:3.
