Look for the “Aspect Ratio” option
When using the iPhone X camera, you may notice that the captured photos and videos do not always fill the entire screen. This is because of the difference in aspect ratios between the iPhone X’s screen and the camera’s sensor. To set the camera to capture photos and videos in full screen, you need to adjust the aspect ratio settings.
To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Launch the Camera app
First, open the Camera app on your iPhone X by tapping on the camera icon on the home screen or swiping left from the lock screen.
Step 2: Find the “Aspect Ratio” option
Once the Camera app is open, look for the “Aspect Ratio” option. It is usually located in the settings or preferences menu of the camera app. The location may vary depending on the specific camera app you are using on your iPhone X.
If you’re using the default Camera app, you can usually find the “Aspect Ratio” option by tapping on the “Settings” or “More” icon, which is represented by three dots or lines. Look for the “Aspect Ratio” or “Picture Size” option in the settings menu.
Step 3: Select the full screen aspect ratio
Once you have located the “Aspect Ratio” option, tap on it to open the aspect ratio settings. From the available options, select the full screen or highest resolution option. This option is usually labeled as “16:9” or “Widescreen”.
By selecting the full screen aspect ratio, you are configuring the camera to capture photos and videos that will fill the entire screen of your iPhone X, without any black bars or cropping.
After selecting the desired aspect ratio, exit the settings menu and start capturing photos and videos. You should now see that the captured media fills the entire screen of your iPhone X, providing an immersive and visually appealing experience.
Remember that different camera apps may have slightly different layouts and options, so the exact location and wording of the “Aspect Ratio” option may vary. However, the general idea remains the same – you need to find and select the full screen aspect ratio option to set your iPhone X camera to capture photos and videos in full screen.
