No the camera cannot do that, you will need to convert the pictures to png if that's what you want.
Good luck!

Hi all,
Not sure if this happened just after the update to the 24 firmware, as I only just noticed it... but have you noticed that images do not zoom properly in mediascape...?? - it's like a crappy 'digital' zoom on a low resolution image (probably one reason why photos taken by the camera always look so crap - because Mediascape does not display them in their full beauty)
Let me give you an example:
The wallpapers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6994126&postcount=1 look great as a wallpapers... nice HD image, stretched all the way to the edges of my screen... However, if I view the same image in Mediascape it shows up with an actual size of about 1x1 inch, and if I zoom in, instead of getting a nice HD image, I get exactly what you'd expect if I zoomed in on a thumbnail - a horribly compressed looking jpeg.
Is this a new issue? was Mediascape always awful like this? is there a fix...?
Bump.... anyone?
Yes I noticed the same thing on the 20 software as well. Pictures look great when set as background, but viewed in Mediascape they look all blurry, very annoying!

Is there any good image viewing SW out there... usually, if I take a photo, I'll zoom in close, just to make sure it's not too blurry, and nice and crisp - currently I can't do that.
nothing worse than taking a good photo, and finding it just looks awful when blown up.
Astro has a 'better' image viewer, and while you can't zoom in, at least it's not showing a horribly compressed image.

SE probably did this so you can fling between pictures very quickly (this was first introduced on 020). However in order to make it so 'quick' they had to compress the pictures a lot.. Bunch of amateurs really..
I suggest you download JustPictures from the market. It is as fast as Mediascape, you can do the 'one-finger-zoom' and the images remain sharp.
Thanks for that - Just Pictures works a treat.
Cheers
Hi guys, is there any demand for converting the JPS files into JPG? (I know JPS is in JPEG with 2 pictures side-by-side)
I've made a script that takes one of the pictures in JPS and saves it in JPG.
Pretty simple, so it also rearranges the files into folders with the dates the photos were taken.
If enough people wants it I will post it here (I need to make it more user-friendly first )
Or is there already some app that does the same thing?
The 3Dsteroid app can do that and also convert to other formats. Though the free version limits the final image size.
I use my laptop to edit jps but think it sounds good

Hi, I write this question " What is the best quality" between the JPG & PNG file format.
Well..... I have app "Camera FV-5" and it's let you choose catching file as these formats....
When I shot an image as jpg its about 5MB in size, but the same scene about 16MB in png... Did that mean it's best in quality.?
I know It's (png) a loosless format.
Did the quality of it's worth its big size.?
I hope the professional in file format & an experience help [emoji3].
With thanks

In your case, yes, a .png image is better quality than a .jpg image.

As far as your matter is concerned....
From left to right, these files are: 24-bit JPG Compressed, 8-bit GIF, 8-bit PNG, Full Quality 24-bit JPG, and 24-bit PNG. Note that the file sizes increase in this same direction.
PNG is the largest image type for bigger images, often containing information you may or may not find useful, depending on your needs. 8-bit PNG is an option, but GIF is smaller. Neither are optimal options for photography, as JPG is much smaller than lossless PNG with only minimal loss of quality. And for storage of high resolution files, JPG compresses to tiny proportions, with quality loss only visible on close inspection.
In short:
PNG is good option for transparency and non-lossy, smaller files. Larger files, not so much, unless you demand non-lossy images.
GIF is largely a novelty and only useful for animation, but can produce small 8-bit images.
JPG is still the king for photographs and photo-like images on the internet, but be careful, as your file can degrade with every save.
Hope this is enough for you to get the point.

Thanks a lot, and I ( therefore) have another question :
" Did png have high range of lighting details like 0-255 as RAW file ( the jpg have just 0-100).?

There's nothing of that sort instead everything is manage by the bits per channel. PNG gives a much wider range of color depths, including 24-bit (8 bits per channel) and 48-bit (16 bits per channel) truecolor, allowing for greater color precision, smoother fades, etc.[25] When an alpha channel is added, up to 64 bits per pixel (before compression) are possible. This is more technical & holds importance for a photographer only.

Hi all, I tried to do some shots in RAW mode. After the shot I have two files: a JPG and a DNG. The jpg is perfect as always, but the DNG File is pixelate and it's very bad. I asked at the Honor official page and they said that's normal because I'm watching it on my smartphone and that on PC the quality would be different, but is it really normal?
To my knowledge, the phone shows just the jpg thumbnail of the raw file (since it would be quite cpu consuming to "develop" the raw data each time). So if you open the raw file in Lightroom or raw converter, it should be fine. Also if you edit the dng on the phone and save the result as jpg, the jpg quality should be ok. At least this is my experience (I use raw mode quite a lot to later edit the raw files in Lightroom).
So there's no way to see a clear image while elaborating it. I will se the good results only at the end.
What exactly do you mean by "pixelated"? And what app do you use to watch the raw image? On the Honor's builtin Gallery app the dng is quite ok quality. If you use a third-party app, it's possible that it cannot dig the best-quality preview from the dng file.
I mean this
While the jpeg is this
Hello guys I would like to know if it's possible to change the format the phone saves pictures from jpg to png. I doubt samsung will optimize this phone for social media so I would like to know if there is a way to make png as the default format. The phone has the option to do this for screenshots so I think it should be possible. At the moment whenever I want to share a picture in specific I just rename it to .png and that does the trick but its annoying and I would like a solution to this.

I want this too. Samsung saves way too much info in the jpg.

There's a good reason why png is the default for screen shots; pixel by pixel representation.
Handle your jpeg with care; always save the original if doing edits.
RAW is still the best format for photograph archives for future editing flexibility.

currently there is no way, even if it is technically possible, to save photos as png direct from camera. convert them or take screenshot of them

Not needed if RAW formatting can be set.
Save in RAW format. You can convert it latter.
RAW is superior to all the other formats because it saves the most raw camera data. Up to 3 f/stops of exposure and white balance data too.

RAW files are too large. the point of my post was to know if we can have png as an alternative to jpeg for social media use to avoid the awful compression, plus you have to be in pro mode to take RAW pictures which is kind of annoying.

Yeah the lack of raw support in other modes is annoying.
