4:3 and 16:9 are only relevant to taking photos. The aspect ratio of the video is set by which record mode you set.

The point of my question is that if you're shooting photos in 4:3, and if you want to record video, you will have a zooming effect if you don't first switch the ratio to 16:9. The zooming effect at the start of video recording may mean you miss parts of what you actually want to record at the start. I know it's not hard to manually switch it to 16:9 prior to recording video, but you may not have time for that if you want to record something really quickly. So if you really want to shoot photos in 4:3, I think it's better to have the camera setting at 16:9 by default and switch it to 4:3 if you really want more field of view. 16:9 also has the advantages of displaying full screen on most people's commonly used devices (phone, TV, PC etc) without having to spend precious time editing it.

The aspect ratio you have the photos set at doesn't transfer when you start a video. The aspect ratio for video is set under settings in the camera. I normally have mine set at FHD 1920x1080. You are correct that this does have a zooming effect when recording. VGA doesn't zoom but you obviously lose image quality. To be honest I don't record much video on my phone. I'm a bit of gadget freak so I have multiple cameras/camcorders.

The zooming effect is ultimately the issue for me. And since I use my phone for social photography and video recording only, maximum convenience (eg. set and forget) is one of the most important aspects for me. Probably be only the occasional instance where I would want more FOV when shooting photos and have to manually adjust to 4:3.

OK, you're going to have to tell us what these food/drink pictures are (Please)

Its ROOH AFZA. A non alcoholic concentrated squash. The specific Unani recipe of Rooh Afza combines several ingredients popularly believed to be cooling agents, such as rose, which is used as a remedy for loo, and the hot summer winds of Northern India and Pakistan. It is sold commercially as a syrup to flavor sherbets, cold milk drinks, ices, and cold desserts, such as the popular falooda. Rooh Afza is typically and more popularly consumed by South Asian Muslims to end their fasts in the month of Ramadan, but has now seen popularity among the non Muslim populous.

Did you mean to blur the flower and focus only on the blade of grass right behind it?

Looks like the camera focused on the blade of grass right behind the purple flower. Very pretty tho

Here is the Croton Dam, NY. shot with S7 Edge. Retouched in lightroom and little but of photoshop later.

Auto mode vs Pro mode. I know that they aren't framed correctly. I was just playing around with the settings. They were both taken handheld using 2 second timer and holding my breath to minimize shaking the phone.

Lookout Mountain, Colorado. This is overlooking the city of Golden and I believe that is the Colorado School of Mines there. Coors brewery is there as well.

S7 Edge. It was hard to see the display in the sunlight so all I could do was point and shoot.
