For taking videos, 352x288 is the maximum resolution. For everything else, try:
In the camera, tap settings, and then tap the top left icon.

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!
Cheers,

Yes its done by interpolation. Even the old WM5 camera app already has this option.
Hi, I have i-mate spl with windows mobile 5
its camera can record only with resolution 176 x 144, and slow frame rate
is it possible to improve the resolution to reach 640x480 at least, and make it recording in 30fps?(registry tweaks, a third party video recorder..etc)
regards
u may need a custom rom

the only thing is processor speed !
China 2.2 Rom missing some file for 720P
libOMX.TI.720P.Decoder.so and libOMX.TI.720P.Encoder.so
I attached files from Milestone 2:
Maybe sombody have an idea to get 720P on Defy
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...torola.com/message/307129+&cd=6&hl=de&ct=clnk
from BizzaBoy @ supportforums.motorola.com
"The DEFY camera modules is able to do 720p. It's a MT9P012 according to the boot log.
Looking at the kernel sources on opensource.motorola.com (drivers/media/video/mt9p012.c), there is a FRAME_1296_30FPS mode supported which reads in a 1296x972 frame that would be cropped down to 1280x720. From the code it appears that those smaller modes are achieved by skipping pixels. This also explains why there is no 720x480 mode, just a 648x486 internal mode.
Ok, next looking at TI's OMAP3 literature, it says that it can do up to 720p HD.
So at the end of the day the DEFY *should* do 720p, and a 2.2 update *might* enable that.
I personally would be extatic to have 720p. The DEFY is really mindblowing as a allround device, where I can record videos on our weekly ski-trips, but 640x480 @30fps really, really sucks. 640x480 @60fps would be great, or 720p @30fps. Overall the camera/camcorder interface needs some substantial work. You cannot switch to a explicitie white balance (only auto), which is a pain if you record video where the lighting changes and the camera software tries to readjust the white balance. The other thing that drives me nuts is that you cannot adjust the image quality settings for the jpeg encode. "
humm i'll check it too

I found this in china 2.2 Rom.
/etc/cameraCalDef5M.bin and /etc/cameraCalDef8M.bin
Did Defy maybe have 8 MP Camera like Milestone XT720?
I renamed ...CalDef8M to CalDef5M and replaced the original 5M.bin
Camera is a bit faster.
I will search for a better camera app.

Are you sure that quality of photos is better now? Have you seen if the resolution is bigger(in details, after take a photo)?

Resolution is not bigger in default Camera.App But in my opinion cam is a bit faster.
I've taken 2 photo before and after renaming file, and i get the same photo, with same specification and resolution.
I've also tried with Pro Zoom Camera 5X and with Vignette, i get the same picture...
So i think we have "only" 5Mo in hardware...
Ok, it a 5MP Cam but 720p should possible.
Have a look to this page. (only google cache)

Good, there is still a chance we could get 720p camcorder at some point, since both 3630-800 and MT9P012 are capable of it.
wow seems amazing
Have you get it work?

Have no time more testing this.
Our Camera component can't take pictures biggers than 5M, in the other thread that tal about 720p we can found the URL of datasheet component. Here I will try to paste it (remmember, buy a beer to BizzaBoy! )
trulydisplays. com/ccm/specs/5.0M%20Sensor%20Aptina%20MT9P012%20Spec.pdf
As I wrote , Acer Liquid use the same camera (MT9P012).
But no 720p for liquid but I think Liquid Steam has same camera with 720p support.
Hope this one help..
Thank you for working for us
what's next? i mean, to get VGA @ 120FPS or HD working?
I think must be easy modify the Android Kernel to accept the 120FPS but will be more complicated hack the Camera.apk to add this feature.
I would start to hack for HD Video. Maybe will be complicated for the Kernel but easaly for the application.
i will donate, if this works good
Thanks for your job master!!! i love you!!!!!!!

Yes, acer liquid stream is able to record video at 720p...and if it has the same camera, is a good new for us

My Droid Razr HD, according to specification, should have a 8 MP camera. However, in camera Widescreen setting, it only display "6 MP images to match the screen". There is no setting to select 8 MP resolution. Where can I set camera resolution to 8 MP ?
My phone is version 4.1.2 and build number is 9.8.2Q-50-XT925_VQLM-24.
Thanks,

On Stock ROM, just "untick" that 6MP option and pictures will be recorded in full size (8MP).

The sensor isn't widescreen. So you can either capture the full 8MP non-widescreen picture or a picture cropped to widescreen ratio, which results in 6MP resolution.
Got it, thank you so much.
Hi there,
Got the Samsung S7 and from today when trying to use the camcorder recording mode it will zoom in and not having the current view when it's on normal camera mode. Can someone help how to solve this, factory reset didn't work.
VGA and 1:1 quality works without zoom in but the HD, FHD 1920*1080 and above not.
Thanks.
My camera does the same exact thing, not sure if it's just a built in feature of the phone. Anyone else experience this?

I think it's because of the aspect ratio of the sensor (4:3).
The camera has to zoom in and crop the sensor when you choose video mode with those resolutions...

How to solve because its strange from.te beginning I had no issues and since yesterday it started, same settings.. anybody an idea if it will ve solved by samsung soon?
Nothing you can do, recording at 1080p requires only 2 mpixels, the whole sensor is 12 mpixels. If you record at 4k it'll zoom in less than at 1080p.

Just turn off video stabilisation and the zooming would be gone! Suppose you know why.

That doesn't work. and this is OIS, not EIS so it shouldn't matter.
So this is due to the camera sensor size? It's very annoying. Especially when I frame my video then start to record and then I'm zoomed in

The video stabilisation in setting is EIS. OIS is built in the hardware and can not be turn on/off. It is permanently on.
And you can't magically take a 16:9 video/image on the 4:3 sensor without cropping.
If you are annoying by zoom in effect when framing the scene, you can first change the image resolution to the one with 16:9 ratio thus already cropped viewfinder before framing the video.
The sensor in S7 is not a native 16:9 sensor like in S6, it is a 4:3 sensor so in order for you to record in 16:9 resolution video, it needs to crop the image while also giving you an impression of zooming in due cropping. The reason why VGA is fine is because its resolution ratio is already in 4:3 format, just resized down to VGA resolution. All 4:3 sensors including the one being used in DSLR are also cropping the image when video recording in 16:9 format.
So if I select 16:9 ratio for stills, will this effect video quality selected at FHD?

I know this is a dead thread by now, but this doesn't really address the issue. The GS7 does more than just crop the 4:3 into 16:9, it also crops in a large amount when selecting 1080p as opposed to downsampling the 1080p image as some other cameras do. This is quite annoying, as even if all I need is 1080p I still have to select UHD to get a wide enough FOV, wasting storage space and meaning I have to downsample it later.
Realized later that the above is only true if you have video stabilization on, disregard it, I'm not sure how to delete my reply
