My iPhone 5 is taking iPhone 4 sized pictures

When I take a picture, it doesn't fill up the screen of my iPhone 5. I have no idea why it's doing this. Basically, I'll take a picture of, say, a tree. When I view the picture, it has a black bar at the top and bottom - as if it had been taken with a 4S/4/etc. What's wrong with it?

What does the manual have to say about it?

I don't think anything is wrong with it. As far as I know, Apple did not change the aspect ratio of the photos when they updated their phone.

  • Why isn't my iphone taking pictures anymore? Basically I have an iphone 3 and before the camera worked fine but now when i load it it takes ages for the grey shutter to open than usual and then when i press the take picture it just goes back to the grey shutter and then reopens after like 30 seconds. Anyone know anything?
  • Why are my pictures taking up so much space on my iPhone I have an iPhone 4S w/ 16 GB of storage. I only have MAYBE 200 pictures at the MAX and, yes, a few videos only a few minutes long, but for some reason it says I have 8.2 GB of memory used on pictures. I just went through all of my pictures, and I was thinking there had to be some app or SOMETHING using a lot of picture memory somehow. P Please, can anyone give me a little help and tell me what could be causing this?
  • WHY are Iphones always small-sized? Of course there's a chance that a new Iphone will get bigger but the latest Iphone 5 is 5.0 inch and there are people who prefer a bigger screen like me. I think 5.0-5.5inch's is fine, but iphones are too small for me, why doesn't Apple make bigger-sized phones? EDIT: i made a mistake but the latest Iphone 5 is 5.0 inch---> NOT 5.0inch, but 4.0inch
  • When will iphone launch a larger sized screen phone? At least around 5 inches in size? 4 inch is too small. For now i have LG nexus which has 4.7 inch. I actually first purchased iphone 5 online but without even starting it or using it, i felt screen size is small and returned it back to get refund.
