I took a couple of panoramic photos but didn't realize that the motion panorama setting was turned on. As such the file size for the photos were quite large (30-50mb). Is there any way to convert the photos to a non-motion one so the file size isn't so large?

Is there no option of "Save as image" or export ?
Can vaguely remember something like when I've done it
No options in the gallery app or in the file explorer I'm suing (Solid Explorer). The motion panorama photo is still in JPEG format.

Try to find the picture/movie from your camera: Start the camera, click on the tiny icon of the last picture you took and swipe until you find the correct one. In that you should see the Save photo option.

I've tried as instructed. The only options I see when I get to the picture is a "more" in the upper right of the screen (options include: rotate left, rotate right, details, slideshow, set as contact picture, set as wallpaper). And on the bottom of the screen the other options are auto adjust, share, edit, and delete.
Hmm... I guess there aer enough apps to remove exif information. Maybe those work to remove all extra info.

About time Google fixed this stupid pix-elated contact picture sync, cant wait for ICS to come out even more after seeing all these bugs being addressed, Google FTW!!
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0.html
Large photos
Android now supports high resolution photos for contacts. Now, when you push a photo into a contact record, the system processes it into both a 96x96 thumbnail (as it has previously) and a 256x256 "display photo" that's stored in a new file-based photo store (the exact dimensions that the system chooses may vary in the future). You can add a large photo to a contact by putting a large photo in the usual PHOTO column of a data row, which the system will then process into the appropriate thumbnail and display photo records.
Yeah its good to fix on this issue but it will be better to keep 512x512 display pic instead of 256x256

Agreed 512x512 would be better, at least its an improvement.

Hi all,
Finely I see ANDROID can save .RAW pics from camera- but which software to use to open it?
every camera has it's RAW utility- but I don't know if MEDIATEK has one.
using Engeneer Menu->Camera-> selecting PURE RAW and test- its saves .RAW + JPEG pics (15MB .RAW-2MB JPEG)
Photoshop opens them as BW side by side mirror, PAINT.NET with RGB565.DLL opens it as but all the pic in blue color(like BW filter- but blue)
who can help?
+ in this menu we can MANUALLY control the focus - so there is a way to control the focus- so why no manual focus camera app out there?
come on! first time .Raw on android and nothing to say?
What's the point? Yeah you get all the information the sensor captured, but when the sensor is fed by a crappy little phone lens you still have a low quality picture. I'd leave RAW to the real cameras.

It is as the filename suggests.
a 2572 by 1932 10 bit per pixel not normalized vertically flipped bayer pattern that starts with BG pixels image
irfanview can open it with these settings.
Only thing that needs to be done is tweak the colors
And yes there is a very good reson to do it. even though the optical hardware is not perfect, the software makes garbage from that half decent picture that is captured with the optical hardware.

you can try many programs. adobe lightroom, rawtherapee, digikam etc.
the only thing: you have to resave the raw files! nothing cam handle that 10bit format, except irfanview...
I open raw with infraview. In this software have you got a preset or way to correct colors? What option do you use?

ifranview is not able to correcting the colors, you should do this with digkam, lighroom, etc.
or make photos with processed raw option, these could be edited with irfanview too!

I shooted in "pure raw" and then I opened with infraview using setting of this thread (look the image attached please)
However colors are not good. Is it possible correcting directly colors in raw file format? Which software can I use?
I tried also to shoot in "processed raw" but I can't open the file with same infraview settings. Could you tell me right workflow?
Thanks a lot.

pure raw is not processed with any color, brightness, etc algorythms, its come as is from the sensor. the same settings should be also good for pure and processed raw, if both is "capture size".
you can just open/edit/save these raw files with irfanview. after you opened it should resave as tiff/bmp/jpeg2000/jpeg(100% quality) and that resaved file could be editable with other softwares.
I opened it with infraview, and converted in jpeg or other formats, but colors are different from reality (green, or pink). I shared a photo .jpg in my last post converted from a .raw file. Did you see?
How do your tweak colors?
Thanks.

Anyone else having these problems:
(1) blurry photo's - I have removed the sticker and still get a lot of blurry photos. Sometimes it could be due to me moving the camera but most of the time I try to hold it very steady. I get the issue with HDR, Sport, and Auto modes. I did some research on this and tried chaning some settings but I still get the problem a lot. Some full sun photos look great, but way more blurry photo's than I would expect (coming from iPhone 3GS as a reference). I have these settings for past couple weeks:
PhotoSize: 4128x2322(16:9)
Burst Off, FaceDetect Off, Metering CenterWeighted, ISO Auto, AutoNight Off
Antishake Off (I think this was On and still had blurry photos so tried off),
GPS Tag Off, Review Off, VolumeKey Camera, Timer Off, WhiteBalance Auto, Exposure 0, Guidelines On, Flash Off, Voice Off, ContextFilename Off, ShutterSound Off
(2) edited/cropped pictures (from the Gallery) are saved in PNG format, why not JPG!?!? Did I miss an option for this somewhere?
(3) I use yahoo mail, occasionally I share a photo from the photo Gallery app to email (from the s4 to my email account). After receiving the email, I cannot view the pictures in the yahoo email webpage or on the computer after downloading them from yahoo). Same for JPG and PNG. Windows Photo Viewer says "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because the file apears to be damaged, corrupted, or is too large". In the stock S4 email app, I have the Default image size set to Original. What is going on???
(4) Pictures are not rotated correctly when viewed in Windows (browsing DCIM folder directly from Windows). Is thi camera or Windows... this is frustrating that this type of issue still exists in the camera world with all the sensors.... the image should not need to be rotated! Is there a fix for this?
I did some searching and I see some people have crashes with the S4 Gallery app... I have not had that problem.
Thanks!
Another problem
(5) in the Gallery, if I use "Set As" to set lockscreen wallpaper from a photo I edited with the Gallery edit feature.... it won't set to lockscreen. I wonder if it is because of changing images to PNG???
I tried going into Application Manager and clearing cache and defaults for the gallery.... same problem.
My picturers rarely come out blurry, and I can set pictures that have been edited as my lock screen or home screen wallpaper...unsure about the whole yahoo email thing as I don't use yahoo. And I don't see the big deal of edited pictures being saved as PNG instead of jpeg...than again I'm not a picture snob so I wouldn't know the difference.

I have problems with the galllery it freeze every time it look that now that i change the rom it was fixed. But the camaera is not really 0 lag
I am confused about the camera, if you look at the picture bellow that I have attached you can see different sizing of images. So for example if I change from 12m to 7m would that decrease quality... Are these m basically for the aspect ratio for example if my TV has 16.9 ration and I take the image at 4.3 ratio does that mean that the 3.7 m would fit on the screen but the 12m wouldn't feet the whole screen... Hopefully you get what I am talking about....
Does the quality get reduced if I use different m's I know that it still says the same pixels for quality.
Does the m mean megapixels?
Sorry this might be a noobish question but I want to find out...
Some of them are the aspect ratio, and some are the amount of compression (visual quality). So there are two 4:3 options in the list, one is going to be cleaner than the other.
The "m" represents the Megapixel i do believe which means yes, as you go down you are effectively lowering the resolution of the images. The aspect ratio is listed to the left and thats pretty much the standards. So yes, 16:9 would fill a standard wide screen and 4:3 would be the old conventional more square aspect ratio.
Hello
Yes the M means Megapixels, here is an example:
"The definition is characterized by the total number of pixels in the image, defined by the number of pixels over the image height multiplied by the number of pixels over the image width." This value is therefore absolute. An image of 2000 pixels by 3000 (6 Mpx because 2000x3000 = 6 000 000) will always have the same number of pixels, whatever size it is given next. A digital camera with a resolution of 10 Mpx (about 3888x2592 pixels) can simply offer a larger size with equal resolution.
So if you change the size of the image there will be fewer pixels and I think it affects the final rendering.
When i open camera & click on Gallery it also shows the WhatsApp videos and pics
I want to set it to only see the Camera pics i click
anyone knows how ?
Please
Always shoot in the highest mega pixels. All the lower ones do is crop the data from the largest setting and throw away the extra picture data before saving. If you save the largest mega pixel setting you can manually crop to all the others afterward if you like. But if you set it to a smaller setting the extra data is never saved.

Try putting a file named exactly ".nomedia" (without quotes, even of 0 bytes it's ok) in the Whatsapp root folder.
If you look into your sdcard folders you can find such a file somewhere, so you can copy and paste it.
Otherwise you could create this file on your PC and then copy to the Whatsapp folder.
Then reboot the phone.

Where in the WhatsApp folder do i put this Folder - .nomedia
In WhatsApp folder there are 2 Folders
1) Databases
2) Media
I put in WhatsApp Folder
It did not work & I do not even see the Folder i created
I HOPE THIS WILL NOT MESS UP MY PHONE Please
Anyway, .nomedia is a file, not a folder!
The folder to put this file is sdcard/Whatsapp.
After adding this file, have you rebooted the phone?
You probably should also have to refresh the gallery database to purge the image caching:
go to Settings, Apps, Show system apps, find Media storage, open it, select the storage memory option and clear the data. Reboot the phone.

So now when i click the Album in Camera

So Thanks Bro somehow it worked for what i wanted
any suggestions do let me know
Can you upload the .nomedia file you were talking about
There are plenty of apps that let you select a directory and the app will add the .nomedia file for you.. just search nomedia in the play store.

Well, this camera is working on our phones with Night Sight.
Install the camera, go to settings ---> Mod Settings ---> Fix ----> Raw Sensor - change it to RAW_SENSOR.
After that, go back to settings ---> Photo ---> Advanced ---> Night Sight and enable Alternative Config 8.1, go back to viewfinder and done. ALREADY SET!
Now comes the hardest part, we need help with the settings, because the photos are overexpoded, high ISO and things like that. To be honest, I don't know how works most of the settings, so please, if you find the right settings, share it with us HERE everyone could enjoy the benefits of this app, we're a community, so we help each other, don't forget that. The config is more stable now.

UPDATE 3:
I uploaded 2 files, one for normal shoot and the other for black and white photos.
I have to say that I just edited the files to make it work on our devices, Monochrome xml was taken from a telegram group (OP6/OP6T), thanks to Jean-Luc for this mod.
Download the XML file that I attached and save it into Gcam/Configs (folder inside internal memory).
Now, check the photo that I posted and open Gcam and double tap to restore the config.
Note: You'll need to tap to focus before take the photo, to avoid overexposed photos o errors.
I took both files (camera and configs) from a telegram group, so, Thanks to the guys who modded the app and edited the config, thank you very much! What a great job was done

click on link , go to XML page
click on "minus" before map to minimize file , it will be like "+<map></map>" , then right click on "+" and select save as .... (name)
next steps are explained in other posts here .... "Gcam" folder in internal memory , inside it create a new named "Configs" and this folder put XML file
open Gcam apk ,click twice anywhere in a place between shooter and left icon for change camera back-front , it will appear a window with restore settings "nico...." you just save it in "Configs" . That's it !

Hi,
Is there any update for this cam? I've tried in night sight using the xml files but all of the pictures are just coming exaggeratedly overexposed and with a lot of noise.
Thanks in advance for the help
it's amazing, I take photos without light and I was surprised, really thank you very much for this development, I will attach 2 photos in comparison of the difference.

Try setting it off. It would work.
Interestingly when I set it to her on pictures are having overblown whites. And with hdr+ enhanced it's not taking pictures at all... Android 10 here. Any suggestions?
It doesn't work anymore, the hdr shows processing, and after turning the hdr off, it won't click pictures
Update after Android 10
I faced the same problem of HDR processing never ending after Android 10 upgrade. However, the photos still seem to turn out okay. Thanks for this port! I'm running it on Motorola One Action.
