Hello
in what proportions do good quality photos be taken?
3:4, 9:16, 1:1, full.
someone will help, and what the individual proportions mean?
4:3 is the "normal" Photo, where the Quality is the best
16:9 is like a normal YouTube Video, but the quality is not as good as 4:3 (Pixel Count)
1:1 is a square
Full means the whole Display (19:9)

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.
Becouse there is no optical zoom on HD2 my guess is that when i take 5MP picture with MAX ZOOM it will take part of 5MP picture and strech it to 5MP thus losing the quality.
What if i take 1MP picture with MAX ZOOM. Will it take 5MP picture and cut only 1MP portion. Or will it take 1MP picture than than strech part of it as zoom resulting in really bad quality.
Can anyone understand me and answer me how is zoom done on low-res pictures like 1MP on Android.
No answers. Does anyone at least understand my question????
This is mainly software question and im not sure how camera software take care of zoom on low res pictures.
your first assumption is correct: the digital zoomed image is obtained by cropping the full picture. As for the question about the different quality on picture taken, let's say, at 5mp or 1mp: i'm not totally sure but as far as i know on a digital camera the sensor will always work at the max resolution, only after that the cpu will scale the picture according to the user choice, applying at the same time a compression algorythm. So i believe the phone will take the photo at 5mp (zoomed, not actually 5mp - cropped) then the scaling process will occur, resulting a 1mp picture. The final quality will not be amazing but still acceptable.
Do you prefer to shoot at 16M or at 21M ? and after do you resize your photos to reduce the size ?
I like the widescreen of 16MP but I shoot in 4:3 21MP always. I want the most clarity I can get.

Most of my pictures either end up on Instagram (just newly allowed wide-screen photos, but I still prefer the 4:3) or on Facebook. I'll use the 21MP 4:3 primarily as well, especially if I'm planning on printing the photos in the future
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...
Is it possible to record a video using a wider angle like the one used for photos? Videos are always zoomed in on the stock camera app or Gcam. Although Short videos have a slight wider angle it only allows 15 second videos. Is there any away to change that?
you have to disable video stabilisation

I disabled but it didn't work
Maybe you can try this version:
MGC_6.2.024_RN7_V1c.apk
I'm using it and it works perfectlt for wide angle video. Even without disabling Video stabilization.
Enjoy!
*try to search in google for the apk

I've tried that version but found no sucess with it. Here are some screenshots https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=12GGWGn79PXOYItFPlVGv8kYehRRIU7QV
So GCam is great at everything photo-related on this phone, but its video output is not impressive except for the 4K option.
You should stick with the stock camera for video recording as it does a great job using EIS.
If you want a wider view, disable stabilization in the stock camera or record at 60 fps.
If you want the widest possible field of view, use Open Camera, disable stabilization, and set the video resolution to a 4:3 ratio. That will use the image from the entire sensor

Thanks for the help! One strange thing is that on Open Camera setting a video resolution to a 4:3 ratio (video stabilization disabled) allows a wider view. On the stock camera even when disabling image stabilization/1080p60 it won't use a wider angle, unless you compare to 1080p30, which has a closer angle than 1080p60. Any ideas what could it be? There's no option on Video Settings on the Stock Camera to set a 4:3 ratio.

That's fully expected as the digital video recording standard nowadays is to record in 16:9 widescreen. I haven't seen any newer phone whose stock camera app offers anything but widescreen resolutions. Some will have the option to record in the screen's resolution and/or ratio.
So, when you're talking 1080p, it is understood that it's 1920x1080, which is a 16:9 ratio.
The sensor produces a 4:3 image, but in video mode the image is by default cropped to 16:9 – the top and bottom of the image are cut off, making the vertical field of view narrower. You have to use a third-party app to enable the sensor's ability to record 4:3 video since this is non-standard. But for typical purposes, I don't know why you would do that, although you can, if you need your camera to capture as much of the environment as possible All our screens are (ultra) widescreen though, and it's more comfortable seeing widescreen video on them.
Electronic image stabilization further messes with the field of view. It 'reserves' a margin on all four sides of the image and uses gyroscope data to move the image back and forth within the frame, compensating for the movement of your hand, and giving the appearance of a more steadily held camera than it actually was. Further software trickery may be/is involved. The final result is that of a 'zoomed in' image. That's also the impression that you might get from the difference between a 4:3 and a 16:9 cropped image from the same sensor.
