I agree with Paul... shoot in your camera's aspect ratio whatever that is, 3:2 for most full frame DSLR's, otherwise you are throwing away pixels. Change you aspect ratio in your post processing software using the crop tool.


You are still throwing away pixels by doing that too

BUT, that's in post processing, not in the camera!
Doesn't matter if you throw them away after you've captured them!

recall

I had an Oly E3 that had several aspect ratio selections, including 4x5, 1x1, and 6x7, as I recall. Great camera, wish I still owned it.


That is a way back, 2010, 10.1 MP 4/3 Sensor. I wonder what the pixel count was for a 4:5 crop?

Din’t remember. Took some nice shots with that camera.

Is that the same as "calories don't count on your birthday" 🤗

Plus there isn't that much throwaway. If I did my mental math right you still are left with 80-85% of the original width if you keep all of the height when you crop. The OP should just leave 10% buffer left and right side when shooting.

Besides, isn't that why we buy more megapixels, to throw them away with closer cropping?

Yes, in addition to more enlargement capability,
hopefully crisper images,
and we do live in a disposable society - we have to throw something away!
