I prefer my photos and videos filmed in portrait mode.

I used to be fiercely against vertical media, but have now come to accept its superiority.
That is all.

Your avatar is incorrect. It should have the eyes in a vertical orientation.

Those of us with normal eyes (see my avatar), see more information horizontally than vertically. So, to fill our vision fully for a good emersion, we need horizontal images.

Solution (assuming you want your video vertical due to a phone): https://www.popsockets.com/

Both have their place.

Vertical video? Maybe when you're rock climbing... or if you only ever view videos on your phone and never share it.

Vertical pics - portrait shots.

Horizontal everything else, pretty please.

I use the android app Horizon Camera

https://horizon.camera/

Tired of watching unbalanced videos that you’ve shot on your Android phone? Don’t worry about it — just install Horizon, a brilliant new Android app that will keep your camera steady at a horizontal angle no matter how you’re holding your phone. This means that you’ll be able to hold your phone upright in portrait mode and still shoot videos that give you a nice wide horizontal landscape.

Horizon supports several different video resolutions depending on the device you’re using including VGA, HD and Full HD. Even more importantly, other video apps can launch Horizon to film videos, which means that you won’t be stuck using your device’s stock camera software to shoot perfectly horizontal videos. The app has been successfully on the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, S4, HTC One, HTC one mini and the Motorola Razr HD, and it will likely work well on more recent devices that have stronger specifications as well.

The app is free to download and includes optional in-app purchases. You can find it at the Google Play store by clicking the source link below.

So you have your TV hanging on your wall sideways?

amdhunter's profile was hacked by some kinda weird monster?

Was gunna post something clever about this but then suddenly sank into a deep depression after realizing thousands of women are molesting little boys out there and I still have yet to find an FWB or GF after two years of searching.

Vertical is great for isolating upright or elevated objects, or things moving toward you (e.g. arrows, kid on a slide). It's necessary sometimes to concentrate maximum pixels on your subject/target.

The fact remains that screens are horizontal. And the video will be shrunk accordingly, unless maybe you prefer it cut off.
An app that forces landscape-oriented recording, regardless of how you hold the camera, would rob you of the power to concentrate max-pixels on your subject.

Too funny.

AMDHunter please let us know how it looks to watch vertical movies like the above and report back to us.

You can turn the app I use off, Be nice to see them build phones accordingly, imo.

Got some "personal" photos that I took that definitely work better portrait! I can forward them to you if you want!

Edited for truth and clarity.

Only if it's photos of your penis.

So all this does is cuts out about 66% of your video to make it "appear" horizontal, but making the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 not there? Am I missing something or is that all it's doing?

So does my wife. Proof that you think like a girl.

They could also make the imaging sensor rotate or a different size chip aspect ratio in both ways.

I’ve seen an interesting discussion on photography forums about true multi-aspect cameras.
The lens produces an image circle, and the sensor is a rectangle inside that circle.
If instead of the smaller 12mp rectangle, there was a larger ~20mp square, you could get full 12mp horizontal or vertical stills, and larger square pictures, etc.

Of course the problem is the sensor physical size is the main factor in manufacturing costs, so why would any consumer manufacturer want 50% more costs? Also chips are read by the processor in horizontal lines, so video becomes a ton more CPU intensive if it is internally rotating.

In general, the lenses, tubes, apertures, etc are round or made to approximate round shapes. Yet the image sensor is a rectangle. If we are to go to manufacturing changes, wouldn't a round image sensor be better? Yes, that would be a tough challenge to overcome, but they recently developed round screens, so it is theoretically doable.

The whole horizontal, vertical, Dutch tilt issues suddenly go away. No more lost light or lost pixels (until displayed on a rectangle, but then you aren't fixed to any aspect ratio so it will work on far more rectangles). All photos/videos would then be in all orientations with a little CPU power.

I don't shoot a lot of videos with my phone and If I do I hold it horizontally. If you have a phone DL and try it out. BTW here is a quick video I did turning the phone 90 degrees while recording. Looks like the new version added a stupid "watermark"

Up to 2K horizontal recording
Capture your precious moments at 480/720/1080p & up to 2K (2592x1936) resolution. In Crisp mode, the 2K resolution is projected to the output resolution of your videos.* *With an Iphone,

LOL yeah so it basically looks like it's doing that. It looks like it's not doing shit other than cropping the vertical image. Wow that is incredible...
