hi there
can any body tell me which apps are capable of taking 720p widescreen pictures
thanks
Stock camera can take 16x9 widescreen at 6mp and 2mp. 2mp is 1920x1080 (same as 1080p). You could just resize either of those to 1280x720 (same as 720p).

if you select 2MP, no change in quality?

yeah if you use 2mp that will reduce your quality but you will get a widescreen pic

Eerrmm????? How does that one work out. Surely he means he wants an app that actually takes 720p pics like the cm camera takes 1080p which I'm a bit skeptical about.

When they say CM has a "1080p" still camera all they mean is 1920x1080 resolution ([email protected])
I guess 1080p sounds better than 2mp so they put that
Also the "p" means progressive scan and only applies to video in this case. So it is used wrong when put in that context. There are progressively scanned jpegs as well but that is not what they are talking about here.
SO, taking a 1280x720 ("720p") picture (if there is an app that will do that) would be a lot smaller than 2mp and wouldn't hold as much detail as a resized 6mp or even 2mp. Plus I don't know an app that takes pics that size so I tried to provide a workaround.
I wonder why OP wants this anyway?
@Z3US911: You can get decent results resizing a 2mp to a smaller size depending on your subject, etc. but yes you will surely see more detail/quality with 6mp.
Yeah err.... 720P is for shooting video. You don't take a still picture in 720P that just affects the quality of the video.
the MP is what affects the still image taking. Basic thing to remember is more MP = larger picture = more detail.
With vignette app you can take 8 MP pics and you have an option to shoot in widescreen. I don't know if the picture is 720p large though. I will test this tomorrow!
Can anyone change the Camera's video recording Resolution to 720p?
I see huge potential in the Sidekick's camera and I was just curious if it was possible.
The Sidekick does already take some pretty nice videos for a 3.2 megapixel camera so recording quality should be good.
If anyone can do it, please do.
So you want me to downgrade the camera quality? All the pictures I've taken are 2048x1536, much higher than 720p
Oh shoot. I meant to say Video Recording quality to 720p. Lol, I'm sorry for the miscommunication.
So does no one know how to make the camera record videos in 720p?
go to camera then to settings
Hey all,
Here's a pretty cool macro DSLR effect I discovered the other day. FINALLY a use for 4K video resolution!
All you have to do when in video mode is select 4k (3840 × 2160) and zoom in 4x. When close to a subject tap to focus as usual and you may be shocked that the image suddenly has crazy depth of field but still remains sharp.
The reason? The camera module has an aperture of f/2.2 which is great, but that's not the real clincher. 4K UHD has 8,294,400 pixels in a frame. Just to give you an idea 1080p is only 2,073,600 pixels. So basically, when you zoom in 4x, your image still looks great. No other phone camera can do this in 2013.
Big deal, SO WHAT? you may be thinking. Well the results CLEARLY speak for themselves..
Happy shooting!

Are you saying that if you record in 1080p mode and framed the shot exactly the same, that the depth of field would not be the same? I'm confused?
I understand the merits of 4K recording, but I don't see how the depth of field would be affected.
WOW! Cant believe all that comes from the small lens sensor of Note 3

I probably should have explained this better but you can't really frame the same shot in 1080p because you'd be way too close to the subject for the camera to even attempt to focus on it. 4k allows much more flexibility for macro shots.
And do you have a 4K display to see this awesomeness?
Otherwise you're just watching it at 1080p lol.

Now I'm curious how 4K video zoomed in 4x downscaled to 1080p compares to 1080p video zoomed in 4x. I wonder if Samsung is using software zooming to enlarge the video image or cropping the sensor to achieve the field of view. If it's software zoom then there's obviously going to be a loss in quality. But if it's simply cropping the sensor there should be no difference. And it fact it'd be a waste of time and memory space to shoot in 4k zoomed to 4x and then having to downscale it to 1080p afterwards. That would add unnecessary steps for editing. Also, in 1080p mode you have access to the software video stabilization while in 4k mode you don't.
it's not about the resolution lol. think putting on different DSLR lenses for your phone.
great find, OP! will be trying this soon
4k works with approx 50% more colours than normal 1080p. Even if you dont have a tv to warch it in full res, a 4k clip will look and FEEL rather different than everything else.
The clip in the above link is done with a little bit of postproduction. Indeed its impressing and there is more to be discovered.

lol, it's not about the resolution. it's kinda like being able to use different lenses for your note 3.

Cropping a sensor of say a 35mm legs by 1.6 doesn't give you a 56mm zoom perspective. You're still getting a relatively wide angle shot but simply cropped.

I understand that. However, in this instance is 1080p mode on the Note 3 simply cropping the sensor to begin with? My question in relation to the OP is if you shoot at 4K mode, zoom in a 4X, is the phone simply cropping the sensor 4x to give you a lossless zoom? Or it is using some type of software pixel binning to give you the zoomed in view? Or perhaps a combination of both.
And how does that compare to shooting in 1080p mode with the 4x zoom?
I took a few sample videos sitting at my desk and to my naked eye viewing both videos on the Note 3's screen, there is 0 difference between shooting at 4K resolution with a 4x zoom and shooting at 1080p at 4x zoom other than the file size. The field of view is identical. I'm looking to see if there's any advantage at the end of the day if I want to end up with a 1080p file as the end product. Is there any advantage to shooting the same field of view at 4K and downscaling?
The 4x zoom when shooting at 4K did not give me a distance advantage versus shooting 1080p at 4x zoom. The phone remained at the same distance as my subject when framing the shot with the same field of view. So for macro video shots, I do not appear to have any advantage when shooting at 4K.
Epic and very well done video!

I think what he's saying is that no matter of 1080p or 4k, distance and senzor pixels are the same, therefore theoretically you shouldn't necessarily have to do 4k to do such zooming. Question is: in effect does zooming in 1080p still record lossless as far as the sensor goes (13mil pixels), or zooming in 1080p only zooms into the 1080p capture (magnifies the 2mil pixels).

I just assumed that zooming in ALWAYS "magnified" the pixels so you'd naturally just get sharper detail with the 4k mode. I now understand my error with the field of view though (I tried it out myself too)
I guess the main thing to take home is the amount of detail you're getting from this phone's sensor.
I understand the Nexus 5 has a very high quality 1080p display. I plan on buying one soon and wanted to know since the quality of the screen is so good if it would affect the quality of playback on lower resolution video.
If someone could test out playback with a 720 x 400 video clip please let me know the results of the clarity of the video. Thanks to anyone who helps!

I didn't test it because it isn't necessary. You said it yourself, it can playback 1080p video, easily. None the less, it'll play lower resolution videos just as great. Resolution playback will be the played in the resolution it was recorded in. So if the video was recorded in 480p, it won't play it in 144p or 720p. Just 480p

So a 480p video scaled to match the full screen of the nexus 5 won't look pixelated or anything? Sorry I am sort of a noob.

It'll look 480p. It won't be crisp and sharp like 1080p but 480p. As for full screen and such, you can control that

Hi, just want to find out if the ultra users record fhd at 60 frames with video stabilization on? I have done this twice now and the footage really isn't any good. The center is nicely focused, but to the sides it looks very soft/blurry. in 4k it looks great, but I stream the videos via wireless to my tv and with the 4k there is too much buffering...fhd streams fine. converting the videos from 4k to fhd seems a waste of time as it takes really long on my old pc. At this stage I feel it's almost worth the effort to convert the 4k to fhd to stream as there is such a big difference on the phone between the 4k and fhd. I don't understand all the technical jargon regarding 4k/resoltion etc but how much do I loose quality wise converting from 4k to fhd? The videos I take is from my daughter doing fast action sports(netball). The footage is in daylight with a lot of sun. Even the picture I take while recording is okay and some is blurry/double image, exactly like in the video. The attached shows the blurry effect...it's not motion blur, as per attached they were basically standing still. I use the dji mimo app sometimes and currently it only supports fhd 30 frames. The quality is much better via the app then the standard camera app
Anybody that has an opinion?
