I need to take a photo at least 400 pixels wide in 4x3 aspect ratio how do i do that with my digital camera?

I have a 3.2 mega pixels digital camera and i can change size on my camera to

2048x1536

1600x1200

1280x960

640x480 my question is what do i set it on to get 400 pixels wide in 4x3 aspect ratio with landscape format??I need to take a photo at least 400 pixels wide in 4x3 aspect ratio how do i do that with my digital camera?
The closest setting to what you need is the 640x480 setting, however it is still too large (width 640 vs. your need of 400).



I would suggest taking the photo at the largest size possible (2048x1536) then re-sizing the image in some kind of image editing program. Photoshop is the most well-known image editor out there, but you can also download GIMP:

What you'll need to do is go to Image%26gt;size and then set your width to 400 pixels, and you want to maintain the aspect ratio.



Then you need to see if the height is 300 pixels (it's probably not - it's probably 267. If this is the case, then undo your re-size, and this time do it again but by setting the height to 300 pixels. So your width will be 450.



Now, you'll need to crop the image to have a width of 400 pixels. Once you've done that, save the image as ';some_name.jpg'; and you're done.I need to take a photo at least 400 pixels wide in 4x3 aspect ratio how do i do that with my digital camera?
All those pixel dimension pairs are 4x3 aspect ratio, so all those settings meet that requirement.



Your first statement says ';at least 400 pixels wide';. All those settings are more than 400 pixels wide, so that requirement is met too!



If you meant that you have to end up at exactly 400 pixels wide, you will have to use photo editing software. Find the Resize function and do a Resize with Resampling to set the width at 400 pixels.



Theoretically, you could do it in-camera too. Take a pic at 640x480. Bring up the pic in Review mode and zoom up to 1.6x. That is like dividing by 1.6, so you would be at 400x300. Now save the new cropped pic.



(However, my camera went ahead and resampled and saved it back at 640x480! So it must depend on the camera...)



Good Luck
