mimicry photo crop? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i dont know why but when i take photos on mimicry on my phone it seems to crop out a part of the image, it doesnt take an image that fills the whole of the desire Z screen but instead takes a picture with two black bars either side of the image.
is there a reason why this happens?

The screen resolution of Desire Z is 800x480, which is the aspect ratio of 5:3. You are probably taking pictures with aspect ratio 4:3. If you want to display a (whole) image with aspect ratio 4:3 without stretching you have to display black bars on sides.
Try to change the camera resolutions to “4MP(W)”. There are two “4MP(W)” settings, one of them has the aspect ratio of 5:3.

[Q] 3:2 camera picture size

I'm missing the common 3:2 picture size in the camera settings of my Desire HD. There's only 4:3 and 5:3. How can I get it? Thx.

As a hobby photographer, I would much rather 3:2, I'm used to that as that was the aspect my Hero used and obviously my DSLR too.
Going to 5:3 over 4:3 just crops the bottom off the photo, so you could just do that on your PC after you've taken it. Create a batch job in Photoshop to do it or something.
I doubt the built in camera up will ever be able to do it if it doesn't now.
I'm using the Camera360 app now - you can set various formats.
the sensor is 4:3. setting it to 3:2 would just crop it.

Camera app that doesn't crop viewfinder

Many of you may have realized, but our camera app and the 4.3 camera app crops the long sides of an image in the viewfinder. The image is still the full 4:3 when you view it in the gallery, but the 16:10 ratio of our screens means our beginners don't display the full preview before a shot.
This has really been running my composition and I get some unplanned but still valuable space above and below my pictures. Had I seen it in the viewfinder, I could have accounted for it.
Does anyone know of a camera app that displays the full 4:3 image, even if it means I get black bars on the viewfinder. I'd gladly live with the black bars I'd it means I can see the whole image below I take it.

Is it possible to change screen ratio or resolution?

Hello xda members!
I need to have different screen ratio (16:9) working on an app. It's because some apps aren't very compatibile with 18:9 screen ratio (image is displayed on whole lcd but it's stretched a little or very blurry). Is there any app that changes the resolution or ratio in a specific app? I know I'll have a black bars on the sides, when I'll change it to 16:9. Btw I'm using HavocOS.

Question Watch videos in th entire screen

As we all know this phone has an aspect ratio of 2.22:1 and we can't watch in this full resolution because most videos and ganes are in 16:9 ratio and some in 2:1 which leaves some black bars on the ends. What I would like to ask is if there is anyway we could fully utilise the display and watch or play in the entire screen resolution or in the 2.22:1 ratio. Edit viewing ratio manually in youtube netflix etc.. and some games
Well what I do sometimes is expand it manually on my N10+.
With different aspect ratios sometimes you need to adapt. At least use a browser that keeps the end bars black. The Samsung browser is my primary vid viewer.

Question Question related to camera / screen size / fotos

Hi, basic question maybe, but when I take a picture with the camera (horizontal, normal mode, 1x), then view in Google photos, is it normal then that the picture does not fill the while screen (black bar at top and bottom)? Same for vertical pictures (black bar left/right). See example screenshot in attach.
I think that's just the ratio 16:9 of the shot you took.. the actual screen itself isn't 16:9, which is why you have the bars

Yes, that's normal. Your cameras' aspect ratio does not match your phones.
Horizontal -> 16:9
Pixel 6 Pro -> 19.5:9 ratio

OK thanks for confirming ... I though I had accidently changed some setting.

Check your ratio setting in the camera app.
Edit: Possibly disregard.
I have it set to 16:9 ...
