Re: Lightroom and aspect ratio crop with E-M5

Thanks for advice, but that is not a solution. I want to shoot in 3:2 because:

1. display of the camera is 3:2 so the image is a bit bigger when shooting in 3:2

2. majority of display devices (PC monitors. TVs, phones) have 16:9 display and 3:2 looks much better there than 4:3. I shoot to RAW+JPG and I leave most of my photos without post-editing just with camera output JPEG. I edit only those that I want to post somewhere and I don't want to crop every single image.

I want to find a way how to edit E-M5 photos in Lightroom in the same way like E-PM2 photos - to be able to use the whole 4:3 image for crops if needed.

I saw that somebody changes TIFF.Model from E-M5 to E-PL5 in EXIF editor to make it working, but I would like to avoid additional time consuming batch-processing of my photos before loading them to Lightroom - I want to find a way how to fix Lightroom.
