Ok this is bugging me because i want the absolute best quality images possible . I have checked the 4032x3024 (12 MB) button in the camera settings but my images are at best around 3mb..
What is going on~?
I think you're mixing up MegaBytes (MB) and MegaPixels (MP). Your sensor is 12 MegaPixels, as it has 4032x3024 pixels (just over 12 million pixels). The 3-4 MegaBytes is how much space the image takes on the device storage or memory card. While it's related to the number of pixels, the 2 numbers are different things. I don't think there's any problem

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.
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.
What are the disadvantages of lowering camera resolution (shooting at non native resolution)? For example from 16 MP to 8 MP.
The resolution and file size would obviously be smaller but would it reduce quality of photos as well? Would it be better if I taken photos at native resolution and then resize them with some software?

The file size will be smaller and the resolution will be smaller. You wouldn't notice any quality reduction at all. Why not just shoot at 16mp and crop it to your likings anyways? Thats a better option.

Indeed, unless there comes some pixel bind mod there is no real benefit apart from the smaller file size.
Although saying that I ain't that bothered anyway. Have my proper cameras for important pictures, phone is for make do snaps
Shouldn't taking/saving pics be faster when lower resolution is selected?
more megapixels means more details (but when you zoom)
if you want to see photos on phone or regular TV or laptop (without zoom) , there are no difference between 16 or 8 or even 6 megapixel
but if you want to zoom or see on a large screen (cinema!!!) you can see difference

This.... People with their questions.... As if they came from the moon.
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
I am interested in this device, but I have a question about the camera.
Is it possible to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio? And if so, at what megapixel count is it?
To compare: my compact camera has 16 megapixels and in the settings there is a 16:9 aspect ratio available, but at 12 megapixels which is fine.
9.0MP 4000x2250
Thanks. 9 Megapixels is a bit low, but could be sufficient.
Does anyone have experience with shooting images at that resolution/ratio? Do they come out right?
Maybe I'm not an expert, but one thing I know for sure is that the number of megapixels does not determine quality but the size of the photo. Now you figure out what's more important to you. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the photos taken by MI A1, and I'm particularly interested in the fact that the camera has a very decent slow motion (in any case, you get a much better camera than you expect).
I agree, that's why I said it is (only) 'a bit' low, 9 megapixels. I am not a 'more megapixel fan', often it even messes up the picture, because of too many megapixels in a too small sensor (more megapixels could be helpful in some ways, although sensor type, size and quality are much more important).
Still interested in experience with/sample pictures at that resolution, so...
