How to take a picture in 16:9 format, with inspire1?

It seems that the 3,992 x 2,992 resolution (12MP) is only available if you are shooting from a tablet (just confirmed with an iPad). The file when the Inspire 1 is controlled from an iPhone (6 Plus) is cropped (By the 'smarts' in the camera - not user selectable) to 3,992 x 2,242 (9MP), so by using a tablet to fly the Inspire you can get 33% more pixels than from an iPhone.

It looks to be more about the aspect ratio of the device display as opposed to whether its a tablet/mobile. I say this as I was able to run a little test with a Galaxy S4:
With its default 1920x1080 display resolution JPG photos are taken at 4000x2250 (DNG=3992x2242).
Using an app to switch resolution 1440x1080 (4:3 aspect ratio) JPG photos now start coming out at 4000x3000 (DNG=3992x2992)!

How very bonkers!

In case anyone else is wondering about this, here are some more details.
I also just tried this with a Galaxy S5 and the NOMone Resolution Changer app.

Before:
- JPG photos are taken with 4000x2250 pixels.

Then:
- Change resolution to 1440x1080 with the resolution changer app.
- Force stop the DJI Pilot App (Settings -> Application manager -> DJI Pilot -> Force stop)
- Restart DJI Pilot App

After:
- JPG photos are taken with 4000x3000 pixels.

Its really incredible that you're shooting for Star Wars in February since they wrapped production already.

I took more bracketed photos on a flight this afternoon and they're in 4:3. I have no clue how I got that other resolution since I haven't touched my settings

Agreed - to my knowledge all photography on Ep 7 was finished (including B-roll) on November 3rd last year! It is now in post houses at various locations with ILM doing the major work with some paint & roto and comp outsourced (as usual) to various post sweat shops.

I'm intrigued to know how you are 'Moving onto Star Wars' this month when there is no 'Moving onto' to be done?
