The wide screen forces the human eye to move actively around on the screen to catch different objects.

The reason for the TV screen to be wide is this: TV viewing has challenges converse to image viewing. Could be interesting for dual-presentations: 2 x 9:8
16.2 :10 the " golden ratio" is superstition in connection with perception of images (in architecture it represents, as any similar aspect ratio, a static, reliable shape). – For street photographers the odd look is intended: 'I don't care. Occasionally 3:2 looks dynamic in portrait format, in landscape rather trivial. Today it's appropriate for reportage, storytelling, action and video. 3:2 with Cartier-Bresson the 'observation slit' looked modern from the 30's to the 50's. (In this sense it is today again very modern, very 70's.) But it's indifferent, technical, cool, calculated, universally usable. 4:3 The ratio is already beyond being balanced. It's simply association by viewing habits. (The appeal as 'composed' or 'live shot' is not a quality of 5:4 or 9:7 in itself. 
9:7 perfect for landscape format with an appeal of a live shot. In landscape too, but it looks ambitious and composed rather than being a 'shot'. 5:4 (= 10:8) perfect for portrait (with a more dynamic approach than 7:6). 7:6 perhaps in portrait format (looks a bit too 'ambitious not being a standard aspect ratio'). – In alternating combination with landscape it looks odd 9:8 great for a solitary photograph in portrait format or for exhibitions in only this aspect ratio. The trick here is to use (not for technical reasons anymore) something like 21:20 (otherwise it looks perhaps too ambitious or too intentional) 1:1 great when technically induced ( Rolleiflex, Polaroid). The right decision for an aspect ratio comes from ergonomics of viewing, from perceptual psychology, in other words from the purpose. It's amazing (and the reason for me to post this article): Duty of photography is here to conform technical demands of devices and of the industry, and not the other way around. users will be forced making this their viewing pattern. images make more effective use of modern TV screens and mobile screens. large parts of existing production means can be kept. The reasons for the industry to boost the more wide-screen sensor (3:2) this way were: This decision took away any chance for 5:4 or 7:6 to become a standard. I think the most important shift in (digital) aspect ratio happened when the manufacturers were forced by the market to increase the amount of pixels on their sensors (near the year 2008).Ĭoncerning the number of pixels the manufacturers made the former width of the sensor the new height and made two former heights the new width (schematic example above – in fact not the sensor size increases but the density of pixels). ( 'Four Thirds' is for the sensor size of 4/3 inch, not for aspect ratio.) 
2008: Micro Four Thirds system cameras ( 4:3 aspect ratio). 2008: DSLR and system cameras, 12 to 24 MP ( 3:2 aspect ratio). 2000: early digital (compact) photo camera s, 2 to 8 MP ( 4:3 aspect ratio). (DV was in its early days more advanced and more popular than digital photography) 2000: Digital Video (DV) with 720 x 576px ( 5:4 aspect ratio). 1925: silent film format and 1935 b/w TV ( 4:3 aspect ratio). #Aspect ratio calculator for images 5x4 full#
1925: 36 x 24 mm full frame fotofilm ( 3:2 aspect ratio).Here are some well-known steps in history of aspect ratio in photography: The only accordance he accepts is content and composition – a freeing approach, but I personally prefer restrictions. Nigel Danson accepts no predefined aspect ratio at all. The right advice for most of us is this: decide what aspect ratio suits your needs (perhaps two different) and stay with it for almost all of your photographs.
Today most cameras provide an aspect ratio of 3:2.
The photograph above shows what 5:4 is – the classic landscape aspect ratio in photography.
