Hi Everyone,
I have a new Oppo find 7 (x9076) with takes great photos! The only thing I dont really like is that the 13mp photos are in 4:3. For TV viewing etc I was hoping to change that ratio to 16:9.
However it seams that on the camera If i do this, the pixel size is lowered to 10mp.
Is there any 'hack/mod' that we can do to allow the camera to take 16:9 ratio photos at 13mp??
Thanks in advance.
Nick.

No.
The physical sensor itself is in a 4:3 ratio. The 16:9 photos are 10MP because they're ignoring parts of the sensor. You're better off taking 13MP photos and cropping the ones you really want to be wridescreen.
Anyone have this issue?
All I can select is 1:1, 4:3, and 16:9. Nothing else. What the heck is this?
Same here. No quality adjustment. Only aspect ratio.
Same very weird

What are you going to get? The S6 is way worse.

I have an S6 Edge. My battery life is better on there than it is on my G4.

From owning the S6 for a week, and reading all the reviews and people posting here, I'd say it's unanimous that the battery on the S6 is awful. It would last half as long as my G3, and that was with many features disabled, bloatware disabled, and I used Greenify. Great battery life when using the phone, but standby was awful.
Why would you want to turn the photo quality down?

Jesus. The problem is there's no indication of what resolution you are taking the picture at at ALL. An idiotic thing to leave out of a camera app.

So many reasons......
File size, image size, image preview speeds, upload limits on websites, being unecessary in general, etc. It's really sad that there's no resolution adjustment.....
Maybe check for a photo size option? Like S/M/L? My DSLR does it like that.
Hi everyone,
While I'm waiting for my phone to reach me, I have a recommendation and suggestion.
I believe changing the aspect ratio itself will adjust the resolution.
As with my previous phones, I think the 4:3 ratio would be the full, native, 16 MP resolution, or a photo size of 4608 x 3456 (multiply 4608 by 3456, you get 15.9 million pixels, or 16 MP)
A middle resolution would be the 16:9 ratio
The lower resolution would be the 1:1 ratio
Please, if someone could take a photo with the last 2 ratios, and let us know the photo dimensions, then we can figure out the resolution
Update:
Well... it seems I may have been wrong.
I found some 16:9 photos on this forum, and judging by the size, they're also 16 MP. It's very odd but it looks like this could be possible because of a customized sensor.
I'm not sure how it works really, but my theory goes down the drain :/
I agree, it is irritating. Likewise there is no indication on the video side of things what frame-rates everything is recorded in, having a choice between 1080p30 and 1080p60 would be good, as well as 720p30/60/120.
I find myself using the native app for random quick pictures and then using FV-5 for more indepth photography...

I have tried it
the 16:9 is the full resolution
both 4:3 and 1:1 are cropped images

Also no choice for RAW unless in manual mode. RAW 16:9 option would be nice for auto along with other resolution choice.
Just to confirm, the default 16:9 ratio gives you the full 16MP.

That's true, but you can go into manual mode and not toggle things you want to change, which basically means it's still in auto mode, except you can now get RAW.
just use Google camera

Google camera lets you shoot in raw?
no but you can at least change the resolution for your pictures, solution for that for now

So you buy the G4 only to load Google Camera with its crappy processing?
Hello ? everybody and expertise,
I have install CPU X app, on my z5 premium then i got shocked whe i found out that my resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels and screen density is 403 ppi aside from 803 ppi more over i found the camera pixel is 8 megapixel aside from 23 mp
Any idea about whats happening with our handset
The phone runs in FHD. The resolution is correct. It only runs UHD in media content, photos and videos. Have you ever saw a review of this phone? This is well know by now.
So you bought phone and you have no idea how its work, you didnt read any reviews, that mention how this 4k work on z5p, and now you registered on XDA, and made topic IN WRONG SECTION about it.
Also maybe you could read USER MANUAL how superior auto mod work on camera? Its nothing hard, its in that box that you get with your phone :]
The phone goes into 4k mode when you are looking at 4k content (so 4k pictures and video etc). There is no need for 4k when you are looking at normal apps as that would just kill your battery and give you no visual benefit whatsoever.
As for the camera by default it shoots in 8mp but if open up the camera app then click the gear icon and then click resolution you can choose what MP you want. I recommend 20mp for best overall quality.
maybe you should read some reviews or watch review videos on the phone before you buy a phone :/
What is everyone's thoughts on the camera settings? Do you guys set it once and forget it? Or are you constantly switching between the 2? Does once setting provide better photos or am I thinking too much into this?
Thanks for your thoughts,

It's always best to get as much resolution out of anything you can. I have 4:3 @ 12.3 setup and just leave it that way.
People complain about it not filling up the screen on the phone but that doesn't matter honestly. Everything we have with photography is at a 4:3 aspect ratio anyway. Keep 16:9/10 to videos
The 16:9 photo option is nothing but a crop. It is totally pointless to set the camera to 16:9. Take the photo in the 12.3MP 4:3 mode, and crop it yourself later if you desire.
Hi guys,
one thing I just noticed, and I'm curious wether this is the case for everyone and if there's a specific purpose behind this: When using the rear facing camera, and switching into video mode. The 3 setttings 720p, 1080p and 4K all seem to use the same of the two cameras, the "left" one when looking onto the back of the phone. They all have the same field of view which is cropped in pretty far.
Interestingly enough, the 1080p 60FPS mode uses the other sensor, the "right one" next to the flash, and has a much wider field of view - which I actually much prefer over the cropped in FOV of the other modes.
Is there any reasoning behind this, has anyone noticed a difference in quality between the two sensors in regards to video capture?
Just thought I'd share this to see what's your take on this.
Cheers!

Didn't notice until you just said. That's awesome. There should be a wide angle camera mode where we can use it!
Great find! Gonna use this more often now :good:
I've noticed this around a week ago as well, and I think the reason for this is because it's something to do with EIS.
Other settings are cropped so it's stabilized, whilst it could be potentially harder to stabilize 60fps electronically?
