Random unsolicited photography tip: your phone camera's aspect ratio is 4:3. Setting it to something else crops the image, even if that something else is misleadingly called "full".

It looks like you had to back up to fit the whole poster in the frame, thereby including a bunch of carpet and ceiling. It would be easier to frame uncropped.

Huh, interesting.
I had set mine to 16:9 but trying 4:3 it does indeed seem to capture more in the picture. Thanks!

I think Samsung put out a couple smartphones about a decade ago with 16:9 sensors, but otherwise phone cameras are almost universally 4:3. Nothing wrong with cropping intentionally of course, but I see a whole lot of images that appear to be cropped accidentally.
