What is 16:9 aspect ratio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 16:9 format is an aspect ratio<\/strong>, i.e. it is a specific image size ratio.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, the aspect ratio corresponding to the 16:9 format is almost a rectangle<\/strong> in which the horizontal axis dominates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This format has dominated the last decades as the standard format<\/strong> for video, television and mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tablets<\/strong> are a case apart, they took much longer<\/strong> to adopt the 16:9 aspect ratio as the 4:3 aspect ratio<\/a> was much more suitable for their use. Gradually tablets have been adopting 16:9<\/strong> due to their use for viewing movies and online series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the 16:9 aspect ratio came about<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 16:9 aspect ratio arose as a result of the constant innovations in the format<\/strong> when filming and projecting film productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started with 4:3 became a war between film production companies<\/strong> to create the most impressive and highest quality projection format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This “war” gave rise in the first instance to widescreen formats<\/strong> such as 2.39 or Ultra Panavision. These are gradually being adapted to 16:9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16:9 aspect ratio in photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In photography it is not one of the most commonly used aspect ratios, but it is common<\/strong> to see photographs in this format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its predominance on the horizontal axis<\/strong> makes images captured with this aspect ratio very dynamic. It is the horizontality to which the dynamism<\/strong> of the image is attributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capture of photographic images with the intention of creating video<\/strong> is usually recorded in 16:9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
