No.........
Possible if you crop the photo

the photos would be smaller, not bigger as it would require some of the top and bottom cropping off. I'd prefer them to be the size they are now!
You can make the pictures larger by using the phones photo editor if you want to. Hold your finger over a pic while browsing the gallery and when menu choices are offered choose the edit option and from there you can adjust size etcetera. I have only used this resize ability for my 2D to 3D conversions to fit them better on screen as optimus photos are a good size anyway.
Alternatively you can take two higher resolution pictures using an app like 3dsteroid and have the app turn them into one large 3D image.

Yes they would be slightly smaller - if cropped on the phone (takes work too) - but to fill the whole phone screen would make them light more pixels (on the phone).
It is really a pitty the cam does not opt for filling the screen - btw. In filming it does - and it looks good in WIDESCRREN.
I hope to have it corrected in the photo mode @ a later time.

the photo mode is correct (4:3)
filming uses more of the screen because it's 16:9 but the resolution is much lower
Yes, i know the filming res is much lower and not better. But still i would love to get rid of maybe 20% res, but be able to see the pics full screen.
One more cropped image size in the cam settings (in 2d and 3d) would satisfy my needs @ all.

Small addition (begging to lg):
The same problem with pictures not beeing displayed full screen applies on my brand new 16:9 led tv - a shame - even more if seen in 3d. It makes the view into the screen like a keyhole effect.
I would really appreciate the possibility of shooting cropped img in the 16:9 format which is also the screen aspect of the phone itself and i think almost every modern display device.

I took several indoor and outdoor pictures yesterday, and the setting was on 5mp. The results were very disappointing. I looked at the files, and it was obvious why. They were 1mb or less. I did not find any other setting (like"fine") as on other devices (N1)?
Pictures on my N1, which has a lower mp rating, are much better. I smell a rat here.
I also took some 720p videos. A 5 minute file is 275 mb, which seems a bit lite. I will see how it looks on HD TV. Similar files from still camera with 720p HD mode look pretty good.

I think the quality is pretty good but the autofocus or shutter is a bit laggy. Reminds me of digital cameras 10 years ago....

They don't look bad on the MT4G screen, but on computer - (especially if you zoom even a little) - not as good as N1...
Update - I checked settings and the the camera was set to wide, so it apparently just crops the pictures to fit, so what you get is about 3.3 mp. Change to to 4:3, and the resolution goes up to 5mp.
I will take a few pictures set this way and see how they compare.
How about we start posting pics in this thread to see what everyone is talking about.
Seeing is believing!
Here is a pic I took yesterday while watching bad boys 2.
*Edit* this pic is 2592 x 1456 which = 3.8 mp and it's set to widescreen, setting it to 4:3 standard gives you 2592 x 1952 which = 5.1 mp
That looks pretty good! No? Or can it be better?

I don't know... I would easily trade ease of use (nice functions, dedicated shutter button, face recognition, LED flash) over many of the cameras, which may take slightly better photos.

I watched that video last night and I agree that the video and picture capability of the MT4G is great!
I think people just have to "try" to find something to complain about.
I LOVE THIS PHONE!!!

now i believe u lose some quality when u have widescreen mode on. uncheck it take a picture and compare the 2 pictures.

There wouldn't be any difference in quality. Widescreen is simply a normal 4:3 that is digitally cropped on the top and bottom. Therefore, of course there are few pixels (lower resolution).

yeah but some people complained about the hd2 when it would tale widescreen mode pics that it isnt true 5mp it was 4mp and if u took off widescreen mode then it was true 5mp. so thats what i am going based off of. but i still think the pictures i take in widescreen mode on the mt4g are great in widescreen mode. i have no complaints
Is there any way to boost the frames per second for the video? I've been comparing photo and video quality pretty heavily with an iPhone 4, and overall the MT4G would be "better" IF the autofocus lag was fixed, and the fps for video was 30 fps.
I find the colors and auto-levels to be superior on the MT4G, but the fps thing is really annoying.
Looks like this camera has the same problem the G2 camera has.
Download the trial of Camera 360 and set the JPEG compression to a more reasonable level. The default camera app on the G2 compresses the everloving CRAP out of the pics and makes them look TERRIBLE.
I've taken some pics with the G2 camera via Camera360 that were remarkably improved over the stock Camera app.
The pictures at 4:3 were better, but the camera 360 pictures and features are better still. Can it be set up to open with the camera button?
Update - it must be the compression in the OEM camera app - would be nice if it could be turned off. The uncompressed Camera 360 shots are twice the size at the same resolution settings. When you look at them on computer screen and zoom in - big difference!
does anyone know if there is an app which would allow me the select on screen which part of a scenery to shoot before actually shooting the picture? - like croping a picture before actually shooting it.
Thank you for your advise!
Don't think there's actually an app for that, but u can tell the camera where to focus if u tap object on screen, then crop the pic after.

Try zoom with the volume button. Should accomplish the same thing as cropping afterwards.

Zooming loses a ton of quality. Best to take the shot un zoomed then crop with photoshop mobile or whatever.

The sensation has a built in crop tool, so you can just do it easy on your phone.

Cropping after causes the same loss of pixels as digital zooming. There's no optical zoom on a phone far as I know. The one advantage of cropping after is you often need to adjust the rotation to get things level, so some cropping is required. If you compose right to the edges it leaves no room for rotate and crop. Or maybe I'm the only one who doesn't always get their shots perfectly level.

No it does not. With digital zoom, the phone is capturing the same picture at all times, now matter what your zoom level is. But when you zoom in, it's simply only that part of the picture that your phone's gonna use. The quality is better if you do that and save just once. If you capture the big picture and save it, then open it, crop it and save it again (as JPEG) you have 2x saved it with loss what makes 2x loss.
When taking pics they all are in the 4:3 aspect ratio (both in 2D & 3D). Anybody knows a way to take pics that fill the screen (without post cropping them) when beeing watched (like the videos do)?
tnx

I suspect this is just the simple fact that the sensors are 4:3 ratio, when shooting video the sensor probably just ignores so many pixels at the top and the bottom to fake the aspect ratio.
So if you want 16:9 then just frame your photos as if the top and bottom is not there, then crop them on the PC later. You can probably even crop them on the phone itself but I have not looked into it myself as I do not see that it matters. You are always best keeping them 4:3 in case you want to have them printed later.
Better to have the option on the phone itself
Hello Alex,
I was using the n900 as well before i bought the o3d. I agree with you that the camera quality was much better on the n900.
And it was possible to choose the 16:9 resolution - although i think the sensor on the n900 was 4:3 as well.
in between i had the atrix for 1 month or so - it also offered to shoot in 16:9, but this one was not 3d ;-).
I think it would be great to be able to see the pics just taken as a "screen filling experience"! Cropping by hand or on the PC is an option, but it would be more convenient to have it as an option on the phone, to take pictures in the original screen ratio.
thanks for your reply anyway

There are a few more options in lgCamera and it also lets you record video at higher bitrates.
It seems a bit twitchy since V10d firmware though, you might have to switch between the image viewer and back before the preview starts working.
Still photos still come out very over-processed though, so I am guessing this is something only LG can improve or someone hacking around with Android itself.
[EDIT]
Actually be careful with that app, it just locked up my phone. Annoying as it seemed fine firmware V10b.
Thanks for the hint.
I tried it - worked - but no 16:9 settings as well except 720x480.
But this is not an option for taking pics.
I think you are right, Only LG could change it.
It looks like the view of the software engineers @ LG is not as wide as the one of the hardware engineers ;-).
That LG camera app is as buggy as hell, total crap.
I would like to know if one of you knows the picture size resolution for each contact in the people app so I can optimise the quality of the picture and not have it all blurry or ugly looking. Most of my contacts have their facebook profile picture synced to my phone but I find the resolution really ugly.
Thanks for the help

Umm I have a problem with getting the picture clear in the contacts them self. My small thumbnail pictures are fine but when you go into a contact and you have that bigger picture at the top it looks like its a stretched out bad resolution picture and it don't seem to matter what resolution I use it still degrades the picture to a really bad level. Any body found how to get around this yet?

Hi
I noticed this odd thing with the Nexus 5 camera and searched over all different reviews and forums but could not find a single mention of it.
When I take a photo with the Nexus 5 native camera app, the photo taken will always cover a larger area then what was seeing in the preview. For example, Lets say you want to take a photo of your monitor screen and (regardless of using the zoom or not) you position the phone so the borders of the monitor cannot be seen in the photo. Once you snap the photo you will notice you can see the border of the monitor and some... the resulting photos always cover a larger area then what is seen on the phone.
Has anyone noticed this or am I missing something?
Thanks

Resolution. The camera resolution is superior to your screen resolution. Compare the screen spec. to any full res shot details to see the difference.

Screen is 16:9 but the camera sensor is 4:3.
If you drop the camera down to 2 mpx widescreen, what is in the screen will all be photo

Thanks guys for clarifying. It makes sense. I didn't think about it as somehow this wasn't an issue with my old Note2 even though the screen resolution was lower, with the same 8mpx camera.
Depends if it was taking widescreen pictures or not.

The Nexus 5 also has a wider angle lens than most phones too. That might have something to do with it as well.
i had this finding too not long ago.. at the expense of some important photos of precious moments "ruined" by this mismatch of screen preview and actual resolution..
and my way out is to use apps that handle this situation..
e.g. "Snap Camera HDR" has a "Preview Cropping" setting.. when this setting is turned off, the screen preview shows exactly as the current resolution ur photo is set at (with some blank margins at left/right or top/down sides to cater for the resolution differences..)
im just a happy user of this app and am in no way associated with it.. there is free version in the play store and xda here so u may give it a try..
