Hi all,
I recently upgraded to WM6 (file name is XDA_EXEC_WWE_20202_20307_11500.exe). The results were all good as I really like the new "glass" like interface. However, the camera now has a "2M" option which displays the resolution as 1600x1280 which appears to be one of the few 2meg resolution sepcifications out there. The pictures taken also have the resolution of 1600x1280 and don't appear to be stretched or skewed in any way which would be evident if resolution of a smaller pictures was increased disproportionately. Does this mean that camera's resolution is limited only by software? or is it some kind of glitch?
Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Hi,
The Camera CMOS is only capable of 1.3MP, you get 2MP by software interpolating. Basically the CMOS captures a 1.3MP shot and the software resizes and fills in the gaps by guessing what should be there by using complex algorithms to analyze the original picture.
If you want to know more search the Wiki......................wikipedia that is!

Yes its done by interpolation. Even the old WM5 camera app already has this option.

hello guys, i was wondering if there was any good camera application for the Vox??? (something similar to the camera application on the HTC hurricane wm2003se) I feel on the Vox the interface of the built in camera is terrible. I mean the resolution is worked out in Mega Pixels, e.g if you want a 2MP snap the resolution must be set to max which means no more further zooming.
Therefore is there any good camera application which will keep the snap at 2MP standard and giving some good zoom option with it?? Please recommend or please post a good application if possible thanks.
How would a digital zoom work, other than making it bigger by reducing the resolution?
oh i'm not sure about that, all i know is, on my previous htc hurricane which was on wm2003se, the camera was awesome, no matter how big the resolution was, the mega pixels reamained the same. All im asking for is suggestion of a good camera application!
What the poor guy was suggesting is that it will not help you with any camera application to get better quality image. It will be like taking your picture in say, VGA and then using irfanview or something like that to just resize the image. And moreover different phones have different camera. My Gene's Camera can give SE K790i a run for its money. But trust me Digital Zoom is a hoax!
I guess no body knows about any camera here. May be you can google and let us know if you find one.
Here's a question- Is it possible to take/capture videos from the camera of the HTC Topaz in widescreen formats? I'm able to take pictures in widescreen formats (By widescreen, I mean that it uses up the entire screen when it generates a preview of the picture and then saves it in dimensions that are the same proportionally ), but it'd be great to do the same with video. Any answers as to whether or not this is possible on this deivce? I've seen it done on a couple of other HTC devices, or at least attempted... Any thoughts? Thanks!
I am not sure it is possible right now.
One thing you may not be aware of is that the widescreen picture mode is faked. All the phone is doing is cropping the real 5 Megapixel 4:3 screen ratio picture into a widescreen format. It is not as bad as a digital zoom but you are still losing pixels.
Whether it's possible or not....it's pointless.
Switching the camera to "widescreen mode" just reduces the number of vertical pixels.
You might as well record with the most number of pixels and crop afterwards.
I'm a big picture guy and wanted to know if any of you guys have adjusted any of the settings and have noticed better picture quality. I must say taking off auto-focus does help with the blurryness a little as stated in a previous post but just wanted to know what differences have you made/seen...
I currently have most things set to default.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Set it to highest resolution.
You will probably have to go to another app to really get good pictures. The stock app compresses them down too much. Hopefully, they will improve it in later updates. There is no excuse for not having more features like Camera 360 - the camera can do much better.
Ditto for the "720p" video. Did some side-by-side with a still camera that has a 720p mode - night and day difference in quality. Again, hope/wonder if this can also be upgraded with only software.
Switch to standard photo size by switching off widescreen mode. All widescreen does is lop off pixels from the top and bottom of your photos. If you really wanted that, just do it yourself in a photo editor. You are not using the full resolution of your camera in widescreen mode, and 16:9 photos are non-standard when it comes to printing either 4x6 or 5x7 photos.
Hey,
I copy three resolutions of an image to my surface: 6099x4066, 1152x768 and 1366x911
The full resolution picture is not as sharp as the other two pictures. Why? Also if I zoom in and zoom out in the full resolution picture, the image looks horrible. I need to go to the overview and then click on the picture again to the it normal (but not so sharp). Whats the problem?
I want to convert my photos to a tablet resolution but 768px is to small for the future and the full resolutions makes problems now.
Best regards,

Hi, I dont have one and was just trolling on this section of the Forum as I was thinking of buying one, but it might be due to the picture having to resize and optimize to fit the screen? It might be but its just a guess.
Ok, but the other versions must also be resized and ony the really big version has this problem.
It could be because the Big one has to either decompress or compress to fit, can remember which. >.<
Hello, I only just got the HTC ONE mini yesterday and just trying to get to grips with a couple of things, mainly the stills camera. I can see in the setting you can change the video resolution but I cannot for the life of me see where you can lower the resolution of the camera say if i want to shoot in 1024x768 or 640x480 - can anyone point me in the right direction please.
Also when I have taken the photo how can i go and adjust the brightness and colour and contrast and sharpness of the photo before sharing it using the inbuilt htc camer app rather than having to download snapseed or another post processing app? - I have tried 'edit' and then 'retouch' but rather than sliders for brightness contrast and saturation etc it just gives skin smooth face lighting face contour etc but no control of photo brightness or anything else - thanks for any help.
