HTC Camera - is there 16:9 mode for photos? 4:3 only?

[rdy2go]

Image samples are always in 4:3 format.
Is it possible to change image format in camera app to capture still photos in 16:9 mode?

(Of course I know there are 3rd party camera apps etc. but nothing beats native support for 16:9)

I don't see the reason why not. Here is screenshot of my pixel camera settings. I believe both phones have same screen ration.

My HTC U Ultra has 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

16:9 is just 4:3 cropped so there is no reason why you should photograph in anything but 4:3 and then crop, to keep all the information.

Selectin 16:9 mode removes a big chunk of the information from the sensor. Sure it fills the screen, but that in itself is a poor reason.

Reason to have a 16:9 option is the same reason why most phone cameras have a auto mode. Most people just want to point and press the shutter and be done with it
