Changing camera/photo aspect ratio.

Phantom 3 Advanced - Android tablet - DJI-GO.

Can one change the aspect ration of the camera?
Most digital SLR's use 3:2 (adjustable) but the P3A seems to use only 16:9. Is this adjustable, I've looked everywhere in the manual and in the App but cannot find anywhere it could be changed?

It can definitely be changed, I always used 3:2 (I no longer have the P3S but I checked on my older photos).

This is for the P4 but I'd imagine the process is similar - Image Size 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9 for Drone Photography? - DJI Aerial Photography Academy

So the P3A is 4:3 by default and cannot be changed in the AC.
Yes of course one can subsequently alter the ratio even in iPhoto but one does lose a few pixels.

No .. at full resolution the P3 Advanced shoots 4:3
But it also gives you two other aspect ratio options.

Here are the equivalent screenshots from the P4 pro to show you how to select different aspect ratios:

However, it doesn't make much sense to shoot in anything less than full resolution and choose the way you want to crop later.
Don't give away pixels before you even take the photo - preserve your cropping options.
