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.

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.
Maybe someone can make a similar mod that is specific to the SGS2, A gallery that shows higher resolution images, allows more detail in zoom and gives an over all better+sharper image

Not sure if this applies to our SGS2 - I can easily view my Canon 5D and 7D images with no lag - they are 19mp and 21mp images respectfully. When I zoom in, I see just as much detail as when I zoom in on my windows PC....
The auto sharpening already makes all the images pretty crisp on the screen. Not sure why u need anything else - SGS2 Screen resolution = 800x480 my pix with DSLR are 5000x3000 so, kinda no point no?
Anywho, I could be wrong, but I think this mod is not needed.
(Unless it effects the TV-HDMI out?
Looking at the same picture and having the high res gallery mod on the SGS1, it goves more detail in both zoomed and standard view, the andriod gallery limits the resolution on the images, has nothing to do with the screen at 480x800.
Looking at a 5000x3000 image on the PC gives better zoom detail than on the phone.
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.
Hey all! I tried Googling a little but couldn't find any results.
Q: When I take a photo with my S8+ on Instagram, in particular the selfie camera, the photo is zoomed in compared to the preview photo. So I have to hold the phone further away to get the full frame that I want.
What's causing this, how can I fix it?
Insta is probably cropping your photo to make it square. Use an app like instasquare to make borders around your picture
I'd love to take full pictures but also keep in mind how the 16:19 (centered?) crop would fit should I post it using 16:9. I mean I could take 2 pictures, but not all moments last long enough for you to switch between 4:3 full then 16:9 wide, and sometimes, taking 4:3 full photos becomes either too wide or too tall when cropping later to 16:9 to be used on a different platform/situation. The current 3x3 and 4x4 grid rulers in the app still needs some eyeballing to gauge the 16:9 crop
extra customizability could be setting it to have just the horizontal guides, vertical guides, or both guides centered on the viewfinder.
if anyone can point me to said app/module, that would be lovely
Maybe in the developer settings of gcam?

I didn't expect the developer settings to be this long haha. I'm seeing preview frames settings, but not sure if there were ruler/grid-related ones

Yeah I gave up looking last night when my vision got blurry scanning all of it. My eyes were tired before I started. It's quite a detailed mod.
