I have my Resolution setting on my HTC HD2 set to 5M (2592/1552) in camera, but when I take photos and check the properties of the photos I took, they are only 800 KB, how do I get them to be at 5 MB?
Well, when you set the phone to 5M, it's 5 million pixels, not 5 megabytes. When the picture is stored, such as JPEG, it gets compressed quite a bit so it will only be 800KB. This can be seen in very simple pictures where the detail doesn't change, the size will be small. In high detail pictures, the image can't be compressed as much so they are bigger in size.
Hope this clears things up.

This was taken with my Samsung D500, look at how clear and crisp it is, as well as how vibrant the colours are.
Its a big shame that when we compare our magicians with that, it looks ridiculous
Actually, that photo is less than 0.3 Mpixel, or VGA resolution.
Resolution, that is the number of pixels, and the quality of those pixels are quite different things. This applies to high quality digital cameras as well.
What we have on the Magician are 1 300 000 really crappy pixels. I'd trade them for 300 000 quality pixels any day of the week.
Skip
Yes skip, I know I have scaled the image but you know what i mean 8)
Got two pics taken by D500, and I must say that they are quite nice! But the screen, I'm addicted to my 2.8" qvga screen now!
Edit: And these were the first and only pics I took. I bet that one will get much better pics after fooling around a couple of minutes with it...
Hi all,
greeting from barcelona
I can not take any picture more than 0,5MB in the 2M (1600x1200) mode with my T-Mobile Wing.
do you know friends how can I setup the T-Mobile Wing to take a 2MB picture ??
tons of thanks

2 Megapixels does not mean that it will be a 2 megabyte photo. Also the format that the camera takes pictures in is compressed. That's why there's a difference...
A "2 megapixel" camera actually has 1.92x10^6 pixels (1600 * 1200) or 1.92 megapixels which means that the photo has nearly 2 million pixels in it. It is no indication of size. Most of the photos that come from a 2mp camera are ~500kb depending on light adjustments made by the camera.
Hi all,
wonder why nobody noticed this but.. have you ever tried to take a shot with the camera and then open it with your PC? The resolution is 1552x2592 (or the other way around in case of landscape shots) which is exactly 4.02Mpixel instead of 5.0
what do you think?
Maybe you didn't take the photo at the maximum resolution, because mine has 2592X1944 = 5038848 = 5 Mpíxels !!!
Try to change between widescreen photo and standard size. One of them is 4 MP and the other is 5 MP. I don't own a HD but I think I red it somewhere.
I think you are taking photos in widescreen
ehm.. yes jamief00.. I was taking photos in widescreen mode.. but I didn't tought that it would simply "cut" the exceeding pixels :| too bad.. well.. thank you
This has been covered in other threads!!!
This seams to be a common thing with cameras in general, I have a HD camcorder which obviously records video in widescreen. When it comes to taking stills the 4:3 pictures are higher resolution that the 16:9 pictures. It appears that the CMOS sensors are 4:3 and are clipped to give 16:9 rather than the other way round.

its 5 million pixels, not 5mb in size.
Thanks Ran, is there anyway to improve the quality?
Buy a real camera if you want quality.
Check the camera settings and set quality to 'superfine' by default it is set to 'Fine' also download and install BSBTweaks, there is an option, amongst other things, to increase the quality of photos to 8MP. Well worth doing.
The "8MP" tweak just enables on-the-fly interpolation. You can't make a 5MP camera take 8MP pictures.
Yeah i know, but the pics do come out better.

No they not. They just smoother. And sometimes this option break quality of picture as you cant see some very small objects.
I am no expert when it comes to photography, i'll have to take your word for it.
Is there any way to decrease jpeg quality to some reasonable levels?
Right now my camera is set to 16 Mpx widescreen and takes 9-10 MB large files.
I have edited one of the pictures in photoshop (just loaded and saved as jpeg again) but with reduced jpeg quality - set ot 7 out of 12 levels.
There were no visible differences of the pictures BUT the new file was 3 MB !
I think that default settings for jpeg compression is set too high in camera app. How to alter this ?
Of course a 3mb file will still look good. It just depends on what you are viewing pictures on. If it is a phone or average hd screen of a smaller size then at face value telling a difference is not easy.
If you blow the two photos up to a huge size, then the differences will show.
The reality is for basic device use we don't need all the megapixels we currently have. Better sensors however is a different story....

I'm viewing images on my PC. I have 27" 2560x1440 monitor, and I cannot tell the difference
