Re: do all canon point and shoots ONLY allow 4:3 on several settings?

On one of Adorama's resource pages, the reviewer comments, "You can now also shooting in multiple aspect ratios, including 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 and 1:1.". In another review by CameraDicision, it is stated, "You can shoot at maximum resolution of 5184 x 3888 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9". In Amazon.com specs on the camera, it also shows the same aspec ratios. If you want it to format best on a computer screen, you should use the aspect ration of 4:3. If you want it to best match the size of common print paper sizes, you should probably use 3:2. Look into this in the on-line manual, as suggested by one of the others who have answered you.
