Yup. It's a shame the camera lense can't like rotate or something, phones are much easier to hold vertically.

[-] aulin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

They're just as easy to hold either way though.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The weight is more evenly distributed if you hold it vertically. I still hold it horizontally though.

I don't know. If I balance the phone on my pinky, with the index finger on top and ring- and middle finger behind, it sits very solidly. My thumb is then free to tap the shutter button.

I find it too difficult to take a picture or video landscape one handed compared to portrait

[-] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Why is that? Most phones allow you to press the shutter with the volume button so it should be easy either way

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I usually change settings, my phone is big. Like depending on the scenario I might change my frame rate on the video or the optical zoom. I find it too difficult with a pixel 6 pro and my hand size. Also I use rotation lock because it's annoying if I'm laying down to have it rotate on me. So then I also need to tap the icon in the lower corner to rotate it, or disable it while I take a video. Lots of mucking about for one hand.

That's true, but I find it just as difficult to access those features onehanded in vertical orientation, so I either do those twohanded before shooting, or I struggle about as much to reach them in either orientation.

Ehhhhh no that's obviously wrong.

I suspect that the sensor has the same dimensions, roughly, as the phone itself. Putting in a square one would probably cost more. Not saying that either way is right, just that that’s probably the reason.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Lenses are circular, so the most cost effective would be a square sensor and square picture. I don't actually know what modern sensors are though.

[-] LostXOR@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Most phone camera sensors (and most camera sensors in general) are 4:3.
