Bug 132766

Created attachment 17449 [details]
Digital camera 3x2 FOV square shape

One simple solution for the rectangular shape is a square shape with marks of
the rectangle crop, both the landscape and the portrait orientation.

This very useful option. Square FOVs are rare. For digital cameras aspect ratio 3:2 is standard (AFAIK). CCD have different aspect ratios but frequently they are not square too. 

As for landscape/portrait orientation I think this is non-issue. In my opinion proper solution is to allow arbitrary detector sizes (X by Y cm). 

SVN commit 911519 by asimha:

Adding backend support for rectangular and elliptical FOVs.

TODOs left:
+ Modify frontends to provide this feature
+ Make sure that the FOV aligns along the coordinate grid
+ Add a feature to set an arbitrary position angle

Can it be closed now akarsh?

SVN commit 911596 by asimha:

Use the 3:2 aspect ratio (which is the usual case with DSLRs and Film)
for calculating the FOV of a camera.
