Like the topic,Anyways to increase it?
I have high detail Map picture . I open it pass through Albums and try to zoom in the picture. The zoom level is limited,I can't see the small detail in my MAP.
Please,Help that How do I change the Zoom level in the HD2 registry?
Please Help!!!!!!!
Up,Still wait for answer.
I want to know this too.
But, dont get your hopes high for an answer.
I never got one for the same question on Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2..
I believe the zoom will only go as far as 1:1 pixel
If this is true zooming futher would not yield any extra detail
Finally,I solve it by convert JPG to Pdf, It work fine on Adobe Reader LE.

nope, it's far less that 1:1 in case of large images. Actually I think it's not even related to the image's resolution. It's fixed to 3-4x I guess.

Has any1 tried to increase (hack/regedit/hexedit, or thirdparty app, homebrew app, etc.) the resolution of video capture. With an Overclocked CPU what do y'all think is the highest resolution captured possible w/ this 2M camera. 1280x720p? 1920x1080i/p?. I know there are HD camcorders out there w/ less CPU power but dedicated chips for video encoding. How difficult to write such an app? Any tips to get started? Much thanks.
It's a 2mp camera so the max resolution is 1600x1200 if you go past that you start to get ripping/tearing and the images look ugly (I believe). It would be nice if the camera recorded in a higher quality/resolution I just don't know if that's possible with the hardware.

I don't have the phone yet. But I believe that the current App only allows a much lower res than 1600x1200 for video capturing, such as 640x480. Still image is possible up to 1600x1200. Pls chime in current owners. Thanks.
For sure this would be a great improvement, but as you all know PPC camera's are complete ****. I doubt that anything like this is possible but I would love for someone to prove me wrong.

Heh the standard camera app won't let you get past 176x144 in movie mode. You might be able to squeeze a jolty 320x240 clip out of your phone when using a third party app such as CoolCamera and overclocking the crap out of your chip, but 640x480 is off limits by far. The camera on these things is slow and not nearly as sophisticated as a camcorder. You'll have to wait another few years
Try to use Ateksoft "Cool caera" or Webcamera plus.
You can get ebtter pics and videos with Coolcamera.....
Up to 640x480 and more.
But Highdefinition is something else

i notice that the camera does not zoom in very far using the finger swipe control. my i900 used to zoom in much closer. is there a setting change to improve on this? i am using 1.66 rom via vodaphone.

It's not an optical zoom - it's a digital zoom which means that you shoot in 5mp and crop that to give you a much smaller result. Therefore you might as well just crop it on your computer once you've uploaded it.
Or walk closer to your subject. Yes it is a bit lame LOL.
Hey there
I got my Desire HD now for 2 days, and I love it.
The recording of videos is beautiful, but I am dissapointed about one thing.
When you record in 480x800 resolution, you can use a very nice zoombar, and it works great.
But when I want to record in HD with 720p, I cannot zoom anymore...
Why is this..., and is there maybe a way to enable the zoom with 720p?
Sorry but you clearly dont understand zoom, the maximum definition of the camera is 720p, without an optical zoom i.e. a big lens there is no way to zoom in and maintain 720p.
Software zoom works by enlarging the picture - using less definition. So there will never be able to do this while maintaining 720p.

I knew this, but why is it not possible to enlage the picture with 720p?
because it would be misleading?
If you had a setting for 720p, and say you zoomed in by just 25% your almost back to Standard definition.
so why not just film in normal definition in the first place?

So what... if I film with normal definition and use the zoom, the quality will drop either.
When I film in 720, it has a bigger resolution, I would like to zoom in a bigger resolution, but yea... maybe HTC does not have enough experience with cameras yet (so far I heard).
Anyways, I like the camera either, but I'm just dissapointed that I'm not able to zoom in 720p mode.
If you film at normal definition (under 720p), you will have sharper digital zoom, because the camera is more sensitive and has lot pixels left "to zoom with". It is hard to explain, but trust me, zooming at normal definition is possible without losing so much quality.

Because I did a test with the camera, like zooming, and focusing, and the quality doesn't drop that much when zooming.

Yeah, the zooming should be really good at least when using up to mid range zoom

Thats where we need clarrification from HTC..
How do you know that when you zoom in standard resolution the it doesn't do it by using the full resolution and zooming in on that part, thus maintaing the full 480p and that section you have zoomed in on?
I would sugest this is the case - have you tried it?

I was trying to put it in simplistic terms... sorry
imagine if you had 720 lines, you can move yourself so close you can only see 480.
Well this works in reverse if you only want 480 lines and you zoom in, in effect your selecting the middle 480 lines of the total 720. so you should not see any loss in quality, unless you are really zooming all the way in.
any better?

No it's quite nice! but in darkness it become snowy.
Would be great if we had a thread with some tips how to get the best photos with the Z1.
Any tips? Please share. I for one would love to dive in the magical world of digital photography. Think the Z1 is a great starting point.
Maybe we could even use this knowledge to create an awesome camera app for our z1.
I dont have a Z1 yet (planning to get one soon as my contract expires) but from what I have reading, Manual mode + Iso 50-200 seems to get the best result.

Well, here's a couple of tips to start you off:-
1. Noise is an issue with the current camera firmware.
The best way to address this is to shoot in Manual mode where you will have a greater control over the shot.
Look at the ISO value and where possible change it to ISO 50. This will give the clearest noise free image possible.
2. Don't use Digital Zoom. Frame correctly and crop your images.
Often I hear of owners looking to zoom in as much as possible before taking the shot.
Whilst that is fine and dandy on cameras which have lens that support optical zoom, never ever use digital zoom.
Instead, take the shot using the full coverage of the shot (no zoom). This will then allow you to 'crop' the image to whatever zoom you wish and you can perform as many crops as you wish from one shot (top, bottom, left, right, centre of a shot)

I saw an ad off Sony in which they suggested that one could do a 3x digital zoom without a compromise in quality. But I agree, why not take a full frame shot and zoom afterwards.
Btw nice to see you here Beards. How is your HD2

Depends on the shot...
If I still want to use Image Stabiizer or HDR I will change from 20MP to 8MP as 20MP does not support either of these features.
Further, for night shots the camera lens is not looking for stacks of detail. As such often for night shooting you can get away with a lower pixel shot.

Yes, you can do the 3x digital but once you have done it this can lead to the next shot being over zoomed, that and it's always better to crop as you know.
P.S. Yes mate..... Nice to see you too.
And yes, I still have the HD2. Kept it for sentimental reasons
If Sony fixes the camera software, we'll all see a enormous difference in quality! Setting everything to manual will give you much better results. Now I tried the "Focal" camera app from the Playstore, and the low light shots are really, really awesome! The app itself is very minimalistic, but produces stunning results with the Z1! Give it a go, I'll try to upload some shots I took when I'm home!

kept and still using mine hehe, anyway shouldnt we zoom in 3x losless(?) first then crop the photo? any further zoom than 3x is going to substantially lose the quality then?
im hoping to get my Z1 tmorrow so i can try out my theory hehe

Ahh a fellow HD2 user. We are but a dying breed...
Re the 3x lossless digital zoom.
There are two issues here:-
1. All the 3x lossless zoom does is do what cropping does . It just restricts it to 3x to avoid over zooming where the shot would then look too pixelated.
2. Once you apply 3x zoom on any image that is it, you can't go back and say "blast! I should have zoomed in a bit less".
At least with the full frame you can make as many different crops as you like and apply it to any part of the image.
In other words where digital shooting is concerned shoot full then crop. 9 times out of 10 the software PP will handle it better anyway.
I would advice to download a more capable camera app for the moment until Sony fixes the severa problems they are having.
Otherwise I would NOT recommend using the Auto mode because right now it's seriously underperforming choosing the Manual setting would allow you for more options of course.
Turn off stabilization when capturing videos if you value the field of view because it's not OIS, this is Digital meaning it is cropping the picture instead otherwise the Steayshot feature is pretty solid
Hello, I was reading a Galaxy Note 4 review and came across 2x lossless zooming for 30fps 1080p video recording and wondered why we don't have it.
Lossless zooming is great as it preserves detail in zoomed situations while keeping the file size big, unlike 4k recording which would consume lots of storage to record then zoom afterwards
As our phone supports 4k recording, doesn't the G2 have the ability to have lossless zooming capability?
If so, can someone tell me if there is there an app that enables us to do this, or someone, perhaps xdabbeb, can enable it for us??
Thanks

Lossless zoom is achieved when u have an optical lens movment.
I dont believe any of these phones have optical zoom.
You can't "enable" optical zoom. It literally means that the lesnses need to move back and forth. Like in cameras. You see the lens moving and adjusting to the zoom.

I thought it was a software thing on mobile phones where they increased video resolution and cropped it to show the area you are zooming in on so that the zoomed part remains 1080p??
For example, a quarter of a 4k video would be a 'zoomed in' 1080p one

I guess.. It can't preserve detail so it has to be cropped.
It's like zooming into a picture in photoshop.
We have digital zoom only. Digital zoom scales an area up to "zoom" in. It blows up pictures making them look nasty.
This is a great question and I think the prior replies have missed the concept. Yes, our camera is like 8 or 12 megapixels, but 1080p HD video is like only 2 megapixels. So when we record video on our 8 megapixel sensors, the sensor "line-skips" to resolve only a 2 megapixel (1080p) image. When we zoom in, digitally, it keeps the same "line-skipping" design as non-zoomed. This results in a lower-than-HD resolution. It would be VERY SMART to adjust the line-skipping design, or not line-skip at all, on a digital zoom, thus still using 2 megapixels worth of photo sites to capture the "zoomed" image. This is the same concept as "sensor windowing" used on RED cameras when changing the resolution. I'm surprised this is not the new/standard way to implement digital zooming on ALL modern smartphones to preserve details and resolution when digitally zooming, because of course there is no optical zoom option.

I am quite sure the note 4 does not have optical zooming. This is the reason it made me think and 'come up' with this idea.

I do not know much of cameras so I do not fully understand what you(Jackdup) are saying, but I think you know what I mean
Just wondering, do you know of any apps that can do this, or know how this works? Maybe you can explain it to a developer to implement it in our devices
Thanks
