Hey guys I have a couple questions for the camera of the 6P. Ok, I know that the camera doesn't have ois but I'd like to know :
Does it take photos 16:9 or 4:3 as a default and if it takes 4:3 as a default when using the 16:9 option are you going to lose some of the quality for example 16:9 at 8mpx.?
Is the front facing camera capable to record 1080p videos?
I'm asking that because just sell my Note 5 and I'm considering to buy the 6P. On the Note 5 as a default was 16:9 at 16mpx
Thanks in advance!

It takes pics at 4:3 default at 12mp when you go to 16:9 it goes down to 8.3mp.
The front facing can take vids at 1080.

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.
hello guys ,i want to ask if someone can explain this to me.
Nexus 4 records videos at 1080p in mpeg4 with 12Mbps
Movies we download etc are 1080p in mkv with 3-6 Mbps
The question is why do movies in mkv look so much better ??..is it a compression/container issue ?
Thanks !
Because the camera is crap..IMO.

besides that looking at the info from the 2 videos, theoretically nexus recordings must look better.
but i'm pretty sure i'm missing something significant in this comparison that's why i asked if someone who has more knowledge on this, can give me an explanation ...
The camera lens, and light sensors are no where near the quality of Hollywood cameras. The bitrate supports the quality but the camera can never deliver it. Its like the megapixel fight with still cameras. A 3 megapixel camera with a great lens and iso sensor can completely blow away a compact 14 megapixel camera with only so so hardware.

thanks man ! i guess we can blame the crappy lens for this one ...i think this explains why s3 or htc one x videos are looking way better despite having a lower bit rate than nexus 4 videos ....
Exactly the lens and camera sensor quality is more important than the pixel account. I saw to many cheap 14 mega pixel cameras pictures that are worst than good 3 mega pixel pictures took with good old cameras. My Nexus 4 doesn't beat my old Pantech Element pictures...On the PC you see the differences.

You cant compare. Such type of compare is irrelevant.
Movies are captured with professional cameras like RedOne at 4k resolution without heavy compression in raw format, further being processed and compressed by professional encoding softwares and so on...
Nexus 4 uses commercial consumer compression algorithm on the way, thus the output result is obviously worse.
That's is one of the major differences.
What should i set the photo size in the camera app? I was using the 13mp setting but the aspect ratio was small with black bars.
9.6mp is better as i can shoot photos in full screen. Am i losing any quality if i continue using the 9.6mp instead of 13mp?
The only thing you lose is a bit of zoomability. Nothing else.

Yes you are but if you don't intend on printing images in 4:3 format (standard) then don't worry about it.
Most people now days just 'view' their images on a screen or their own device. So in that case 16:9, wide screen (9.6mp) is the better choice.
FYI; I use 16:9

Personal preferences I guess. I am using 13mp
I did a couple of sample shots before. If you're not zooming in, you won't be able to tell. I do a lot of zooming on my pictures though, at maximum zoom, there is significant difference between the two. So I'm keeping it at 13 mp.
The camera is set at the default setting of 10mp. From reading on the forum I see people use this and don't up the mp to 13, is there a reason or an advantage to using it at a lower mega pixel count?
The shape of the photo is Instagram like with the 13mp. So people use the 10 because the picture measurements are correct.

That's an interesting upside. One of the more common benefits would be for storage purposes. It is a smaller file thanks to using a smaller resolution. That being noted, the obvious downside is that it is a smaller photo.
I would say that smaller resolution doesn't matter, as the megapixel myth still plagues people to this day. However, from what I have read, the 10MP on our G2 is... decent. But apparently the 13MP is where the magic happens.
The only difference is the 16:9 vs 4:3 aspect ratio. The 13mp setting takes advantage of the entire sensor, whereas the 10mp setting crops the top/bottom of the sensor. IMO, it's best to just shoot 13 with the wider field of view, and if needed you can crop after, to whatever aspect ratio you'd like.
I use 13mp. It's 4:3 and is closest to the 3:2 I'm used to and find more pleasing. Not to mention you get more vertical fov.

I basically was rushing to answer. But I meant exactly what you posted. The image ratio. Sorry for not being clear.

Hey guys,
I am planning to buy the A1, i have a question regrding the taking selfies using instagram story.
Can someone tell me if the viewfinder is cropped and your face looks 10x larger than taking the it using the normal camera app?
On my oneplus one i don't have this problem but on every other android phone i've tested this problem occurs. I hope you tell me the A1 does not have this problem.

Well, the fact is that the camera has a native aspect ratio of 4:3 (3:4 portrait) and Instagram works on 16:9 (9:16 portrait) so it has to zoom in order to get the correct aspect ratio.
It is normal.

thanks for the reply. so that means my oneplus one had a wider viewing angle than this mi a1
You set the selfie camera to 16:9 in the settings

Maybe yes, or it has a native anamorphic lens, so the camera it's a native 16:9 one...
