While using stock camera app, in photo mode , the images were captured in low resolution i.e, 0.7mp 720*960 by default. Unless I use pro mode, all other modes are capturing images at 0.7mp. The case is even same with selfie camera
Only pro mode capturing images at 12mp resolution. But in pro mode we can't use selfie camera.
Please help me out
Is it possible using the stock camera or maybe a gcam mod to do a seamless zoom out from the regular lens to the ultra wide while recording video? Or vice versa?
Hello
I got the Fold4 a few days ago and still figuring things out
I don't seem to understand how the stock camera app switches cameras
There are 3 'predefined' optical zoom options at the bottom:
1. .6x - Assuming this is the 10MP ultra-wide camera (top camera, furthest from the flash LED)
2. 1x - Assuming this is the main 50MP wide camera (middle camera)
3. 3x - Assuming this is the bottom 12MP 3x telephoto camera (bottom camera, closest to the flash LED)
The thing is - if I cover the bottom camera with my finger and toggle all the zoom options, none of them show a covered camera.
It seems my assumption is right about 1 and 2, but the 3x zoom option also uses the main 50MP middle camera, and it just crops the image
Only going digital zoom of 10x or above makes it switch to the bottom telephoto camera
If I switch the camera app to video then it's a different story, 1x uses the main 50MP camera and 3x uses the 12MP bottom camera
Anyone has this issue or any information on it?
Just checked mine and it switches between all three cameras
I also just checked mine and when the 3:4 mode is selected then it will move between the 3 cameras based on when I select the preset 0.6x, 1x and 3x zoom.
However what I don't understand is when I can select the 3:4 50MP camera then there are no other preset zooms to choose... What is the difference between this mode and the 3:4 mode - are they both 50MP??

I think the regular 3:4 mode is only 12MP (3000x4000 resolution), maybe to save memory or to do produce better pictures with some algorithm.
the 3:4 50MP takes advantage of the full capability of the sensor
This option exists in most of their modern phones
The zoom camera will automatically default back to the main camera if the ambient light level is too low. Because the zoom lens has a smaller aperture it performs worse in dark environments. It is likely being triggered by your finger covering the lens. This has been the case with all multi lens camera phones that Samsung makes.

Thank you, I did not know that
Confirmed it by switching to 3x when all cameras are covered and uncovering only the 2 top ones
It will auto switch to telephoto camera when it gets bright enough
ty this fixed my zoom problem for pictures. but when recording video it does not switch can some one direct me to an app or to a fix please
IS THARE GCAM 50X ZOOM FOR PIXEL 6 PRO?
why all caps?
and why would you want 50 times zoom?
"The Google Pixel 6 Pro features more or less the same optical zoom sensor as the Galaxy S20 Ultra – it's got 4x actual optical zoom, while the rest is a mix of the sensor's megapixel count, optical zoom, and digital zoom all in one."
so between 5x and 20x its just digital zoom (but very impressive). The 7 Pro has a new Res Zoom feature that is part of the new Tensor2 chip, so if you want the best zoom, get the Samsung S22 or 7 Pro.
If you are looking for a GCAM app (google camera modified camera app), there's one made by MWP specifically for Pixels, found here. Use the first non-beta build from March (it doesn't have any further zoom capabilities but does have a number of manual settings that can be changed in the camera app).
Yes what he said. Once you zoom past the physical lens, all its doing is CROPPING the image.
Camera app is not intuitive at all. If I set video recorder to 4k60fps I can't use 0.6mm lens. I have to manually disable and lower to 4k30fps to be able to select the 0.6mm lens again. OnePlus, just let me choose the lens and then you automatically disable that for me if the lens doesn't support it.
Another example of this is when you enable Hi Res photo and i only have 0.6x and 1x and because the 2x is not capable of hi Res, it's disabled. Then again I have to manually disable hi Res to be able to use 2x. Instead again, all lens should be present and if 2x doesn't support hires, then manually disable that for me and take a normal picture
