Samsung Galaxy S8 camera in 16:9 image format

If you use the Samsung Galaxy S8 to take a photo over the main camera and you will certainly notice that the live image and the photo taken later do not completely fill the display.

This is because the camera of the smartphone can only record a 4:3 image format at 12 megapixels. The screen will only be filled in if you select a 16:9 format.

The disadvantage of this setting is that you can only take 9 megapixel photos at 16:9. This is due to the sensor format of the smartphone.

How to change the picture format from 4:3 to 16:9 on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is explained here
