All our product images are square, 1000 x 1000px.

They appear fine in product listings.

However, when viewing a Collection page, or Search results, images are not displayed as Square by default - their ratio changes to a more widescreen view which results in the top/bottom of the images being cropped off - and this is a problem because some of the images have embedded detail in them in the top right/left corners.

How do we amend Debut theme so that Square images show as Square on collection pages/search pages?

Many thanks in advance.
