What aspect ratio do you usually use?










1:1 was used in the Kodak 120 film and Polaroid cameras and used to be common in older webcams and on Instagram prior to 2015.

5:4 was common in large and medium format photography (8"x10", for instance)

3:2 was the standard for 35mm and APS-C film cameras and most DSLRs.

4:3 was the standard for Four Thirds and point-and-shoot digital cameras as well as CRT televisions and monitors.

16:9 was the standard for APS-H film and is the current standard for most modern HD LCD TVs and monitors.

16:10 was the old standard for LCD monitors up until about 2011 (e.g. 1920x1200).

3:1 was the APS-P standard and is very rare in digital photography.

Many phones can do non-standard image sizes; for instance my Galaxy Note9 can do 4032x1960 (which is a totally weird 72:35 ratio)

I usually try to get as close to 3:2 as possible, which is the old 35mm ratio, but I'll go to a bigger aspect ratio if I need a wider shot like taking pictures of a server rack or landscapes. Of course, I always end up forgetting to reset the camera so I'll end up taking pictures for a while at a weird setting.

I just took a pic of my dog and I'm looking at the image and it's all stupidly long and narrow... D'OH! It's set on that weird 72:35 ratio!

The iPhone defaults to 4:3 for photos and 16:9 for video.

Looks like mine defaults to 4:3, so that.
