I just realised that making photos in 16:9 mode it always creates 2 photos physically in the phone (11 Pro / iOS 14).
One IMG_xxxx and another IMG_Exxxx...
Why it should be like this - everything duplicated.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14
The camera is taking the photo in 4:3 aspect ratio (IMG_xxxx ) and when you crop the image to 16:9 it will create a preview of the edited version (IMG_Exxxx). Photos is supporting a lossless workflow, so you can always revert to the original. The original will never be discarded.
Even when you are taking the photos at a 16:9 aspect ratio, the sensor will record the photo at 4:3 and and the camera.app will just crop the photo. The sensor is 4:3, so the photo will be taken as 4:3 and then cropped.
When I take a 16:9 photo, iCloud Photos will sync it to my Mac as 16:9, but it will show in Photos for Mac as an edited photo, and when I revert it to the original it will be 4:3. I am having the same iPhone model as you and as far as I can tell, t has always been this way, that the camera has just applied a cropping to the 4:3 original. It has been saving us an editing step.
But I am not cropping it ... I am taking the photo in 16:9 aspect - that's the original camera aspect ratio ...
I was always taking photos in this format (16:9), but as if previously I did not take also 4:3 (when I make it in 16:9)...
Could it be something new ... and now taking in 16:9 I am getting always 2 images - 4:3 and 16:9 and one of them just looks not realistic ... I may show an example...
