YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is true, and good to know but with caveats. If you take the picture in 16:9 mode then yes you're only using part of the sensor (or likely the whole sensor but only part of the image is being processed and stored), but you would also be using your phone's display to properly frame and take the picture how you want to. A good picture is not just the technical aspect of using the sensor.
The outcome when someone crops a 4:3 image after taking it to make it 16:9 etc depends on how the orignal image was framed and how good the skills are of the person cropping it. You may get more information if you take the picture in 4:3 mode but then you may find it much harder to convert it to a format you like (for example, a format that would fill the display when viewed on a phone, a TV or a computer display) due to how you framed the original photo. I'd argue it's better to take the photo in the format you want to consume it in if you're using a phone. If you have an actual dedicated camera, then get a camera that works best in the format you want to use.
Sure, pre-cropping is a valid technique, best done intentionally.
Dedicated cameras intended for photography (rather than videography) almost exclusively come in either 4:3 or 3:2. Video cameras occasionally use 16:9, or even weirder ratios.
