Aspect Ratio

It depends on what you want to do with the image.
Conventional TV screen or monitor is 4:3.
4R prints are 3:2.
Newer wide-screen TV or monitor is 16:9.

Also, see which one gives you the highest resolution, the other 2 are probably cropped from the native aspect ratio.
What is your intended hard copies size? If you stick to 4R, it is better to use 3:2 ratio.

The reason why I made this choice is because if I need any other aspect ratio, I could just crop the sides off. When printing you will have a choice whether to fit the image in, so there may be some white borders or to fill the whole paper with the centre crop of your image.
On my LX-2 it's only for 16:9. The 3:2 and 4:3 are cropped from the 16:9 so it's no longer as wide.
Yeah.. I shoot at 16:9 most of the time.. any other aspect ratio I could just crop myself. I'm not familiar with the FX50.
For FZ-50, the highest resolution is in 4:3 format. I believe that the sensor is also in 4:3 format.
4:3 - 3648 x 2736 pixels
3:2 - 3600 x 2400 pixels
16:9 - 3584 x 2016 pixels
Not very huge difference in terms of wide angle. But technically, the widest is in 4:3 ratio.
This is the first time I realised that there are 16:9 sensors. I guess for LX2 the aspect ratio does indeed make a significant difference in the wide angle.

If the sensor is native 4:3, then to get 16:9 would be cropping the top and bottom, this would not impact the horizontal angle of coverage.
So in this case, TS should shoot at 4:3 and if you need any other aspect ratio, just crop it later yourself.Yes, the LX-2 is using a 16:9 sensor.
Scaglietti already answered my question. Overlook it earlier. Thanks.
These are fx50 ratios and sizes
4:3 Aspect:
3,072 x 2,304 pixels,
2,560 x 1,920 pixels,
2,048 x 1,536 pixels,
1,600 x 1,200 pixels,
1,280 x 960 pixels,
640 x 480 pixels
3:2 Aspect:
3,072 x 2,048 pixels,
2,048 x 1,360 pixels
16:9 Aspect:
3,072 x 1,728 pixels,
1,920 x 1,080 pixels

Yes, you can easily see that the 16:9 is obtained by cropping the top and bottom of the 4:3 image because the vertical resolution is reduced while the horizontal remains the same.
TS - thread starter, ie you. ;p
