Thank you for the responses. The resolution of my monitor is 1024x768.

What I've been having to do is download the images, change the image size (decrease width by about 10%), save. If I save it without doing those things and then burn them on a cd to take somewhere to have them printed, the photos appear stretched out. Same thing if I download the pic off the camera and then try to email it to someone- they're like, "why are you so wide?"

And the thing is, as much of a pain in the butt that it is, I was ok with it, figuring that's just what I would have to do. Needless to say it makes me not want to take many photos. But I noticed it's doing it with the videos I take (same camera), and I don't even know how to go about changing those.
