[Q] Can the camera be a fixed with roms/mods?

Just look at the picture I included. Zoomed out looks fine, just a little over sharpened. The minute you zoom in, you can see the oil painting effect. You guys think this can ever be fixed?

I had this on my s5. Could be a software issue

Dumb questions but it appears you sent screen shots of the pictures.. Can you upload the actual files? It could be the screens over sharpening but may not actually be in the image.. Also the stock camera defaults to 10mp but you can up it to 13 to see if it helps with the detail.. Also make sure your camera lense doesn't have a smudge on it.

Mine is the same way, though probably worse. Very disappointed in the camera on this thing. Its all software related, so hopefully someone can find a fix.
I posted a few pictures (linked directly, not uploaded) of something very similar in the picture thread. Seems HDR is a very big source of the issue, and looking at your picture, its certainly an HDR image. I'm on to A Better Camera, and its a little better but not much.

For as far as you zoomed in I think it looks OK. I can't shoot now zoom later with the g3. ?

[Q] Camera Screen Size

I was wondering if there is a way to enlarge the camera screen . It is a square now, unlike any phone Ive had. Would love to have it fullscreen
Thank you

Try going into settings and changing the resolution of the camera to a 16:9 instead of 4:3.

Boy do I feel stupid. Thank You
But I would think if you just wanted to lower the res for space reasons and so they are not that big on the computer, that it wouldn't change the appearance.
Thank you VERY MUCH

NP. But you can also select the other 16:9 options such as 6.0M and 2.4M. This resolution (3264x1836) will still look good, but you will notice a loss of details if you zoom or crop the image much.
I like that they provide multiple resolutions and aspect ratios. Using 6.0M (16:9) will use the full screen while taking pics, but it will use about 3x less storage compared to full 16.0M resolution.
For example, the same pic at 5312x2988 (16M) is about 4.3 MB, compared to 1.5 MB if you use 3264x1836.
And if you want a perfect square picture (without cropping afterward), use the 8.9M (1:1) resolution (2976x2976).

Front camera Not working!

I just received the phone, everything seems to work except for front camera. Back camera works fine but whenever I switch to front camera the app crashes and creates a log. I have tried changing setting for front camera, tried using open camera, checked permission. I don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated!
Edit:- I have noted that camera setting can detect it as 8MP camera and I can change the setting for front camera, though it does not put any effect on front camera. The front did work for a second,
I managed to click a photo of it.

Front Camera resolution is 5MP?

I would like to know if all apps like AIDA64 report Nokia 8.1 has 5MP resolution? If yes then it means Nokia maybe fooling the user's.

Yes....even i checked in AIDA64 as well as another similar app and the front camera shows 5MP........however i read somewhere those details are basically read from specific properties file and probably Nokia didnt put the right information there

Same is with nokia 7 plus, it has a 16mp ffc as per nokia, but all benchmark score app or camera app shows only 4mp as ffc, don't know its properties file fault or nokia is actually fooling us by just upscaling the photos from 4mp/5mp ffc

Its using pixel binning technology afaik. So actual sensor is 20 mpx but output will be 5 mpx.

Don't know how they do this pixel binning, but I can see the Open Camera gives sharper selfie than the Nokia Camera App.
The photos of Open Camera front camera have more noise though.

Photos in good light are 20mp, in poor light pixel binning combines 4 pixels into 1 to give better results but outputs at 5mp.

Aspect Ratio Gone

I guess it is this update where they moved the aspect ratio

where it is

I still have 16:9 on version 7.2.016.279154257.

Why TF did Google dumb down the camera app? FTS!
Pics I took yesterday are 4:3 ratio! Hate that sheit!
They removed the ability to change aspect ratio on both cameras. Now you get 2 choices: Medium Resolution, and Full Res. in 4:3 aspect ratio. STUPID FUX!!!
I guess it is this update:

Anyone know what the previous version was for Pixel 3a's XL. Going to grab from APK mirror or somewhere.

First off, the option to select 16:9 images is still available. However it is in the pull down menu and not in "settings" where the "Medium/Full Resolution" option is located.

Second off, 16:9 images is actually a crop of the 4:3 image and is not full resolution. This is not new to this version of the Pixel camera. It has always been like that on this phone. A image taken in 4:3 mode is actually 4032x3024 (12.2mp) while an image taken in the 16:9 mode is only 3840x2160 (8.3mp). So you really want to be taking images in the 4:3 mode to get the highest quality. You can always crop them to 16:9 if needed and not loose any pixels, but you can't add back the lost pixels if you take your shots in 16:9 mode and want 4:3.

Thanks @sic0048! I will have to check it again.
Yes I know that 16/9 is a cropped 4/3. I have a 65 inch 4K monitor and I just want them to fit. I take too many pics to crop manually.
O I C IT NOW. Going blind from all these lasers and fog machine

I wonder if there is a version to take pictures in fullscreen 18:9.
Samsung has that option to make full avantage of the screen.
