3:2 ratio

Different camera types have different aspect ratios. Full frame sensors, APS-C sensors and the smaller 1-inch sensors in many high-end compact cameras have the same 3:2 ratio as old 35mm film negatives. This gives a pleasing semi-wide aspect ratio for horizontal images, though doesn't work quite so well visually for vertical shots.

Aspect ratios and why you need to know about them

May 22, 2020 by Life after Photoshop

The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. The larger the ratio, the ‘wider’ the image; the smaller the ratio, the ‘squarer’ the image.
