You'd bee shooting loose to then crop into rectangles. Horizontal or vertical as the situation required or your mood moved you later. If it was me I'd not been shooting my 70 on my S and be working with unstopped images. I'd shoot a bit loose. Crop later. I do that right now with everything I shoot which is rectangles on my D700.
