matching the on screen 16:9 view
It would be great if we could also adjust the aspect ratio of the live view screen to match the selected photo and video aspect ratio.
I noticed this issue yesterday while working an event. I set my photos to 16:9 to match my video settings so I wouldn't have to keep adjusting or tilting the camera whenever someone switched between taking a photo and recording a video. Previously, I had this problem because my videos were recorded in 16:9 while my photos were captured in 3:2.
However, even with both set to 16:9, I noticed that the live view displays the image as if it's filling the screen correctly, but when the photo is actually taken, the final image is cropped differently. Essentially, what you see on the live view screen isn't what you get in the final photo.
It would be extremely helpful to have an option to set the live view aspect ratio so it accurately reflects the final captured image. Ideally, the photo, video, and live view would all maintain the same aspect ratio, ensuring consistent framing across both modes.
This is especially important for self-operated photo booths, where guests frequently switch between photos and videos without an attendant available to adjust the camera. Having consistent framing would eliminate the need to reposition or tilt the camera and provide a much smoother experience for everyone.
