not full screen camera

Hi My friends ;
in KE7 , camera is not in full screen , buttons are not transparent , they are grey but KE2 camera was in full screen and I like the way camera full screen , now it doesnt take full screen photo
what f.ck is this ? fixing the camera means to minimize the camera apperance?
well can i make it full screen?

i don't know if i understand you correct, but you might try to switch to a wide-mode resolution for pictures, to have the full camera zoomer visible instead of the 4:3 crop

How can i do that?

Lower the resolution from 8MP to 6MP
8MP is a 4:3 resolution, which is why its square on screen.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Camera

So I have a case of OCD. I want to leave my camer on the 13 MP setting but It only displays at the 4:3 setting where the 9.6MP is full screen. Has anyone found a way to make the 13 mp setting stretch the full size of the screen or is that just not even possible? Thanks Guys!

The 16:9 picture fits your screen perfectly because it's basically a 13MP shot with the top and bottom chopped off - you're still getting the same resolution, just less picture. So no, you can't "stretch" the 13MP photo, you'd essentially be doing the same thing and chopping off pieces of the picture. Hope this helps.

That would make sense. Works for me! My eyes will just have to get used to it. Thank you!

4:3 or 16:9?

Hi guys
Noticed that on the 6p, the pixel were much lower if u choose 16:9
Which do u perfer to shoot with? 4:3 with more pixel, or 16:9 with less pixel?
and why you do it?
Thanks.

I prefer the 16:9 just because it fills the entire screen. It would be nice if we could have it both ways though.

but the 16:9 has a lesser pixel? do u notice the picture in 16:9 have a lesser quality compare to 4:3?
I also like that the 16:9 fill the entire screen, but the quality to me is important too

I've been using both off and on. To me the difference is minimal. The 4:3 seems to be a little better in low light but in bright light I can't tell the difference. I've been using open camera app to shoot 16:9 and google camera to shoot 4:3. I haven't settled on one or the other as my main shooter yet though. I'm debating on trying pro camera to see how it does. It won't be the first couple of dollars I've wasted if it isn't any better. I'm trying to find a good one that will shoot stills while taking video. I got used to that coming from my note 3 and then G4.

I'm in the same boat. While I enjoy 16:9 mostly, I prefer to get as much quality to my pictures as possible with the 4:3 before any processing. That said - ProShot looks pretty nice, but unfortunately it's reported changing EV has been disabled? What a dumb move by Google...

the full screen disply on 16:9 is one of the main reason i choose to use it. It just kinda weird to have black space on the side.....
i havent try any other camera software.. any recommendation u have?

I've tried several that are in the play store. For me open camera works the best out of the free ones. Search for open camera in the play store and give it a try. It had way more options than the google camera app.

Camera sensors are generally 4:3, even professional ones most the time are.
16:9 crops the sensor, hence lower megapixelsis

ALWAYS use 4:3 because only this way you will get all the pixels. You can resize it later and cut it down to whatever ratio you want - but you can never do it the other way round (without losing quality).

Yeah, the 4:3 vs 16:9 thing has been on my mind lately too... I like 16:9 pictures better, but when I compare the pictures I take, the only difference I notice is the 16:9 is basically zoomed in. You get no "wider" view, it just basically crops the top and bottom of the image off. There is a camera app or two that I've used that does make it wider, but those don't seem quite as nice as an image.

Well the aspect ratio of the sensor is 4:3, so it cuts of pixels until you get 16:9. Changing the aspect ratio without interpolation is only possible by cropping. Interpolation is what happens in the apps you mention which leads to decreased quality.

You don't get lesser quality when shooting in 16:9, it's the exact same quality. The only difference is the image is cropped at the top and bottom to achieve the 16:9 aspect ratio.

What's weird is the S6, Note5, and G4 have the full resolution at 16:9, where the 4:3 was a cropped version of 16:9.
I shoot in 4:3 to have the full 12.2MP image. I can always crop it later.

i do noticed that too
So to clarify, 4:3 has a wider angle and 16:9 is zoomed in right?
i just like the feeling that 16:9 takes up ur whole screen when viewing on photo app

so like other user are saying, is good to take it as 4:3 since u can edit later on but u cant edit when u shoot on 16:9 right?

Use any picture editor that features a "crop" function and remove part of the top and bottom of the original 4:3 picture until you get a 16:9 ratio or any other ratio you like (e.g. 3:2 is also common). Done.
It's the same as taking the shot in 16:9 but this way you can decide later which parts of the 4:3 you want to cut off (only top, only bottom or part of both).

Well you technically could edit a 16:9 image down to a 4:3 ratio by cropping the sides off the image. Doing this will result in an image containing even less pixels though. If you're really worried about it just take photos in the 4:3 ratio and crop them to 16:9 if you need to. I just have mine set to 16:9 all the time, I don't like the look of images in the 4:3 ratio. Using 16:9 allows the images to fill the screen on my phone, my tv, and my laptop (mostly).

yea, the only reason i will consider taking in 16:9 is that it fills the entire 6p screen

Ohoto Aspect Ratio 18:9 is Just a Crop?

Just got my G6 and was looking at the camera settings and noticed the 18:9 default aspect ratio of photos was an 8.7MP photo and 4:3 is 13MP. Well we know the sensor is 13MP, so obviously anything wider than 4:3 is just a crop. So correct me if I'm wrong but choosing a wider photo ratio in settting isn't going to give you a wider field of view, all it's going to do is crop out the top and bottom of actual photo the sensor is registering which you could easily do in a photo editor. But you can't put the top and bottom back in, if you set the aspect ratio wider than 4:3.
So what is the idiotic thinking behind defaulting the camera to 18:9? I'm guessing the average user might be upset that the photo is not taking up the entire screen on their phone. It's odd that these days there's all these tests, reviews and debates about what smartphone has the best camera, and then you have the manufacturing setting the default camera settings to crop out the top and bottom of your photo.

Yep, AFAIK, all camera sensors are round, while all pictures we got are in square shape. So, such wide pictures as 18:9, 16:9 are all cropped.

Camera sensors are not round, they are rectangular. The sensors native aspect ratio is what determines which aspect ratios are cropped.

I'm sorry, I have explain what I mean in the wrong way.
As we know digital camera*takes light and focuses it via the len (which is round) onto a sensor, and yes, the image produces by the round len is round.
And when that round image projected on the rectangular sensor, we got the rectangular picture. Using a nearly square will get most of round image made by the len.
A more wide ratio picture (18:9 for example) with the same quality as 4:3 need 2 things: a bigger len (to have a bigger round image), a bigger sensor to crop the wide section => both increase the cost and most important need a bigger camera part.
Hope I have make my opinion​ clearer. Sorry for confusion I made.

I don't remember exactly but didn't the camera say something about this when you first started it? Or when you headed into the camera settings for the first time?
I seem to recall being reminded that using 4:3 would use the full sensor at least so that would help people who aren't in the know.

I didn't pay attention at that time, but the default setting of my Korean version is 18:9.

Yes it mentioned that so I changed to 4:3 immediately

What a great guy :good:

Why is my front camera zoomed in when recording a video?

Dear people from XDA,
My front facing camera records video's heavily zoomed in. Like my face fills the whole screen. This is while using the default camera app.
I do not have this problem when taking a picture with my front facing camera.
I have seen problems with snapchat and instagram, but I also have it with the default camera.
OnePlus support says i gotta clear cache, but that doesnt work. Now they tell me to do a factory reset.
I got the latest software update for the Oneplus 6T.
Any of you have this problem?
Edit: i cant post links so you can paste this screenshot in your browser with https:// in front of it. nl.tinypic.com/r/av0enk/9

Its probably to do with image stabilisation, it crops out the edges as that gives room to adjust for shaking. I could be wrong, but thats something I did for a dummy project before, I think its a pretty common practice thing

This is the case when taking a picture, but not when recording. It doesnt work.

Like he said.. When it's in video mode, it appears to be zoomed in because it's cropping the edges as part of the electronic stabilization.*
I'm not a hundred percent certain on that being the explanation but I am pretty confident. That's just the way it works and I just open the app to be sure and there is no way to turn off this stabilization

I don't think it's as much about image stabilization as just aspect ratio. If you go into the selfie picture camera and change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to full screen, the image will be similarly zoomed in. As I understand it, the camera sensors are 4:3. To get 16:9 or 13:6 full screen images, it just basically crops the 4:3 image and stretches or zooms it to fit the desired size. Just like when you take an older 4:3 SD tv show and zoom to fill a widescreen tv.
I'm just speculating though, so I may be off base, but it makes sense. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

It is the electronic image stabilization. It crops the recorded area to leave room for the frame to move around, so that it can compensate for movement.

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying.
