Instagram low resolution on HOX

Did anyone notice that the pictures you take when using instagram are much lower in resolution than the ones you take when using the stock camera?
Unticking the "advanced camera" option under instagram settings doesn't do much since you're gonna have to crop your picture again.
Any thoughts?

Yeah that's instagram for you, the pictures are resized to crap.
or taken in a lower resolution using their 'advanced' camera in part of the app.
Just the way it is.

That's just how Instagram works.

Images are always cropped down within instagram. Even the images you took with the stock camera you upload there. Just take a look into the instagram photo folder on your internal memory. They're all cropped down BADLY.
Thats just how Instagram works. Small images means less traffic and faster loading times. Thats why you cant watch images in full screen within the app either.

Thanks guys, I thought so.. this is getting annoying!

Damn, I wondered how they got the pictures to upload so fast!

Sorry for thread-jacking but is there any way to take pictures with Instagram and not have them uploaded? Many times I just want to make tests and it sucks that I cannot simply choose to save the files to a folder instead of uploading the pictures.

doe anyone else notice that instagram links do not open the instagram app on the HOX? For instance a tweet of the form instagr.am../asdhjd/ would give the option of opening with the instagram app on my SII but on my HOX it just gives the browser option..

Yes, just don't click upload... The pics will be saved in the instagram folder on SD

It does save the photo but it doesn´t apply the instagram effect. It also won´t let me choose the default folder or to set "never upload" as default.

Works for me. Take the photo, apply the effect(s), hit the arrows in the top right to take you to the tagging/upload screen, then just back out again. The processed photo (with effects) will be in the Instagram folder, the unprocessed photo will be in the normal camera photo folder.

Thanks. I didn´t realize it copied the photo with the effect to a different folder. All other photo apps I use automatically copy the photos to the android default photo folder.

Yea, it will copy the untouched photo to the normal photo folder, and the effect photo to the Instagram folder.

I much prefer to take pictures with the stock camera then use instagram to crop and upload, but thats just me.

yeah but wouldn't it be hard to judge how the photos should be taken because only the middle half of the photo will be cropped and uploaded onto instagram.

Post your camera settings here

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you have tried changing setings in camera app to improve quality of a photos, could you share which parameters have you changed? I'm 99% satisfied of my camera, but sometimes when I take pictures of documents or book pages photos become bad quality, it looks like phone were shaked at that moment,but it did not. any solutions

Enable Anti Shake mode to reduce hazyness of pictures but remember that enabling anti shake increases the grainy texture to the image.
For close up shots of documents or pages use Macro Focus mode.

Would it be difficult to implement a way for front-facing photos in Google camera to be saved as they are previewed in the viewfinder like in Snapchat, Instagram, etc?

It would be kinda difficult, but why do you want to take a screenshot of the viewfinder rather than using hdr+ which is superior to any other phone in every way, There is prob a camera app out there that can do this, lemme do some searching for you

I suppose I'm moreso looking for a way for my photos to mirror back to how they appear in the viewfinder. Not so much much a screenshot of the view finder, but an automatic vertical flip of photos taken with the front-facing camera. I was just curious, thank you

It is annoying, I just flip them in snapseed.

43MP RAW photo and 32MP front pic.

Hey guys, I found a way to take a 48MP photo with raw. It's very simple.
1- get the app on play store named " Footej Camera"
2- open the app
3- slide to left and go to "RAW" option
4- if you wanna know the resolution just go on the gear top left, go to photo, and resolution. The back camera gets 48MP and the front one gets 32MP.
It's a very nice app, and if you are like me and like to take long exposure photos in the app the iso option it's higher than on official camera app.

Cool! How about Open Camera? I think that can do more tricks ...

How about the quality of the pictures .. cause i'm using GCam and works perfecly fine

Thank you for the raw photos.
From analysis, the DNG files have a lot of color noise and purple fringing on the shadows.
These are not good at all for a 48mpx sensor with pixel binning.
Would you be able to use a Gcam apk and take a few DNG raw photos as well ?
I know that gcam does some processing with the raw files.
Obrigado

Question Own gallery and video app ?

Hi.
I don't have root. I need to set it up after taking a photo or video, clicking on a photo or video in the camera app to open the photo or video in my own gallery. I use my own application for photos and I use potplayer for videos.
Thanks.

Which camera app are you refering to, miui stock or other? Can you not go into settings/app defaults and alter/clear them from there so that you are prompted next time you click on a photo within the camera app...

I have a stock camera. I don't know where in the settings to do this.

The stock camera app opens recently taken photos in itself (the photos are opened in the Camera app, not the stock Gallery app or something else), and it doesn't provide an option to open them in neither the stock Gallery app, nor your own gallery app of your choice.
If you'd like the Camera app to open those photos in the stock Gallery or an app of your choice, post a suggestion to Xiaomi to add this feature to the stock Camera app.
(And just to clear any confusion, this has nothing to do with app defaults, like the ones that ask you whether to open YouTube links in the browser, or the YouTube app)
