Why is the Camera's aspect ratio different between Still to Video

Can you tell me why the Camera's aspect ratio is different when taking Stills versus the Video?
I would like to capture the stills in 16x9 as the video does. Why is this not something that could be chosen in options?
Thanks

Still looking for an answer as to why the Still pics are 4x3 and the video 16x9. 
I would like to take pics in 16x9, like the video. Is this an option that's coming in the next iOS, does anybody know

  • Why is the camera such poor quality to take still pictures.

    I have been trying other a
    Apps to see if the quality of the still shots can get better.
    No such luck. It just looks like a grainy picture.
    Is there anything that can make this take good still pictures?
    Especially for the price you pay for one of these things?

    Yes I must admit the camera on the Iphone is very good.
    Yes the Ipad is well bait big to hold in the palm of your hand so to speak.
    But it would be nice to be able to take a quick snap if a picture becomes apparent.
    It would have been nice to have the Iphone camera in the Ipad2.
    Oh well just have to be disappointed about this feature.
    Question to any one. Is there an app that allows you to take a picture from a movie you made on the Ipad2 at all?
    As the camera picture is clear enough for me when I pause it.
    Thanks

  • Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

    Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

    Hey there Sparkly3gs,
    It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Please help with the understanding of aspect ratio!!!

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to get my head around the 'aspect ratio' thing if anyone can help.
    To give an example, I have imported footage in FCE and in the details of the file it states:
    Pixel Aspect: PAL - CCIR 601
    Frame size: 720 x 576
    What exactly can I earn from the above information?
    I gather this is not widescreen but I would like the end film to be. Do I have to 'crop' this? If so, how!?
    And how do I make sure the picture looks right on a widescreen TV (so the people don't look squashed, say)?
    Many thanks in advanced for the wisdom passed on!
    Adam
    Oh and should i be thinking about this before I'm about to import from a Mini DV cam? As in settings...

    If you check the anamorphic box on a 4:3 clip you will see some kind of distortion.
    In general you choose your setup accordingly with the way your footage has been shot.
    In the article you found that iDVD doesn't recognize the "anamorphic" flag that your footage can have in FCE.
    Therefore your exported material must be "arranged" so that you tell iDVD you have a 16:9 movie.
    When you work entirely in anamorphic 16:9 in FCE (your footage was shot in 16:9 and have the anamorphic flag on), when you export the sequence using export to quick time movie, you'll get a 720x576 PAL movie. Because iDVD will not translate the anamorphic flag, you have to manually change the movie size to 1024x576 for PAL, so that your resultant movie will be keeping the 16:9 aspect ratio.
    The native widescreen doesn't use such flag and the video is already at 16:9 aspect ratio.
    That's has to deal with pixel that are rectangular and not square as computer uses.
    I guess someone else will be more specific and detailed on this.

  • Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want.  Help!

    While using "One Step DVD from Movie"  using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7  16 X  120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio.  The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio?  Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 -  reboot.
    4 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project  from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?

  • Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod?

    Why is the order of my playlists different on my iPhone than on my computer or iPod?  To clarify, I'm asking about the order of the playlists themselves (should be alpha) and not the order of the songs in the playlist.  I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1, and a MacBook Pro running 10.7.2. 

    I beleive when Photo Stream first started it only sent photos to other devices and didn't delete them so you'll have to start fresh. Be aware it can take a little time for the changes to take effect depending on your upload speed of your internet.
    I think to start out you'll have to delete all the photos on each device first which will also delete the new ones from the stream. Make an album in iPhoto on your Mac with all the photos in My Photo Stream. Then delete all the photos on Photo Stream on all devices then add all the photos back to My Photo Stream on the Mac.
    May I suggest setting up a Shared Photo Stream for this purpose and keep the My Photo Stream for the new photos taken with your devices. Also be aware of the 30 day 1000 photo limits on Photo Stream.

  • Why is the camera so blurry

    ever since i downloaded the new os x the camera has been very blurry

    Nang123 wrote: why is the camera so blurry
    Because something is wrong.  You need to troubleshoot to find what to fix,
    If you have checked that the camera lens cover is not smudged, restart Mac and check again.
    If the problem continues, check more than one other Apple camera app in more than one  user account per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.
    If the problem is exactly the same in all apps and user accounts, reinstall OS X 10.9

    How can I move Whatsapp or google   photos from the camera roll to a different folder

    How can I move Whatsapp or google photos from the camera roll to a different folder
    The only way to remove photos from the Camera roll is to delete them. You cannot move them directly from the Camera roll to another album.
    Sync the photos to your computer, remove them from iPhone and resync the photos to your iphone.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • Why does the camera shutter stay closed?

    Why does the camera shutter stay stuck?  The camera won't operate.  I've rebooted several times, I've changed settings several times, I've held by finger over each camera as demostrated on a youtube video.  Nothing has corrected the problem.

    That happens sometimes.  See this ongoing discussion.  An appointment at the Genous Bar of an Apple store is probably in order:
