Calibrating iPhone for OpenCV — Square vs Normal images

I'm using ArUco with OpenCV to calibrate my iPhone camera and estimate the pose of the marker in the scene. To calibrate the camera, I used the normal (photo) option in the iPhone's camera but then realised that I will need to capture squared images for pose estimation, i.e. using the "square" option in the camera.

I'm wondering if I need to re-calibrate the camera using only squared images? i.e. does the image ratio affect the calibration result?

Also, I will be using the calibration results to find a marker position relative to the camera (i.e. estimatePoseSingleMarkers), I tried it with my current calibration result and drew the axes on top of the detected marker, it seems ok but my problem is that the numbers I'm getting are a bit strange (e.g. the camera is actually 40 cm away from the object centre (y)) but I'm getting a very small number.

Thanks! I hope that my question is clear.

does the image ratio affect the calibration result?

yes. so you need to calibrate on the same ratio you want to use later

then realised that I will need to capture squared images for pose estimation,

can you explain why ?
