I never thought much about changing the default format on a p&s camera. My new Panasonic LX3 has 3 options 16:9 vs 4:3 vs 3:2.
Other than the wide format of the 16:9 which is obvious, how does changing the format effect the image? IOW, does using the 16:9 actually make the image wider than 24mm which is the width of this specific lens. If so, does it also effect the actual image? How does 4:3 differ from 3:2 - same question?
This is probably a really dumb question, but I don't quite "get it."
Thanks for an explanation for dummies!
