[Q] Stock Camera - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to take better quality pictures?
im using offical camera from stock rom on my SIII Mini But they looks good till i zoom them. they have low quality and crappy compression 5 MP picture s just 1.4 mb file.
i have Galaxy Ace and it take better pictures i can zoom them and dont lose the same quality as SIII

ive read in google there are a tweak to increase the video quality but didnt find a way to increase Picture quality on cam and enable or disable JPEG compression

SIII Mini has no zoom support. it has only single lens. so the way a camera app zooms is not by zooming the lens. but zooming the pixel.

many if not all mobile phone cams zoom in with pixels so that is not a S3mini thing

SGS I9000 Camera Panoramic feature (Enhance the MP?)

As you already have seen in the camera mode! You can take panoramic pictures with the SGS! but it's only 0.3 mp! The droid x can take much higher resolution panoramic pictures.
Is there a way to hack it so we can take higher resolution panorama pictures?

of course, it's all software, you just need to install another Camera App for that
there is also a very nice Photo Stitch software for Android to do the same thing
then you can take individual high res pic, then stitch it all together
PhotoStitch is not working for the Samsung Galaxy S and i prefer the stock camera app!
Does the camera app in the pre release Froyo firmwares show any indication of increased resolution for panorama shots?
The built in camera app is pretty good and the implementation of pano shots is well done, save for the low rez.
Any updates on this issue?
PUSHING!
I really would want to have this feature modded in one of the camera.apk's
PLEASE!
Now that the thread is bumped, I'd like this feature!
Galaxy Ace (which I own) has this issue too.
Any news/fix/others-raccomanded-apk?
I've used this for some time and it's great:

[Q] Camera burst mode quality?

Hey guys, on gsmarena i read and saw the video about the camera burst mode taking 999 pictures in 68 seconds at 9 megapixels.
I understand that photo quality is not directly related to its resolution.
So i just want to ask, will the 9MP photos be of the same quality as the 13MP photos? Thanks.

9MP with the same senson will be just slightly less detailed than 13MP. Not a huge difference though

So i wouldn't notice a difference unless i closely inspected it?
thanks for the answer
It's the amount of pixels used to display the photo - its resolution. You would only notice a difference when zooming into the picture.
However I agree that pixel count is the least important factor. My SE W800 with 2MP shot better photos than any phone I had afterwards. If ZX' photos have similar color properties it will be great.

Yes. 9MP photo displayed as let's say 1280*720 will look exactly the same as 13MP photo zommed out to the same resolution. You will notice any differences only if you analyze them on their native resolution or big zoom.
Of course there will be differences - but you won't be able to notice them, especially when viewing your photos "normally".

Can you use optical zoom while recording video?

On the S9+, you can use optical zoom while recording video. It seems to be that this is not the case with the P20 pro for some reason, which would be a deal breaker for me.
Can someone confirm?
Bump
The youtube camera comparison vids from SupaSaf suggest that there is no optical zoom button in Video Capture Mode like on the S9 but you can pinch to zoom (it's just not known whether this is optical or digital but suggests digital to me).
Optical zoom is there. Just no button. Have to use fingers.

I just watched the SuperSaf video and it does seem like digital. Is there any confirmation it's actually optical zoom?
Bump, anyone who received it can confirm?
You can zoom. It's digital zoom as far as I can tell

That’s disappointing. I’m contemplating just cancelling my order and going back to my S9+. I loved everything about it but the very, very mediocre battery life. But the P20 pro which seemed great with the camera at first now seems to have some major drawbacks (no stabilization at 4K, no 4k60 recording, pictures looking soft, no way to enable beauty mode, etc.). What a shame.
Sorry to exhume this thread, but I'm interested in the topic. I can see why the 5x hybrid zoom might be too taxing for video, but it would be extremely disappointing for the phone to contain a 3x telephoto lens and not contain a 3x optical zoom.
YouTube has a couple new videos, but I'm not sure how to interpret. This one shows digital zoom that strikes me as very disappointing.

This one, on the other hand, to my eye, looks more like optical zoom. It's tough to judge the quality in portrait mode on YouTube, but it looks better than digital zoom to me:

Anyone have any thoughts on this or new experiences with the phone in the last couple of weeks?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, that was a great video.
Fwiw, I ended up buying it. So long as you take video in 30fps, you get what looks to be sharp, optical zoom. If you film in 1080p60, however, you get a hot mess of digital zoom. The attached shows a frame capture of 1080p30 (pretty sharp) next to 1080p60 (blurry mess). 4K30 looks much like 1080p30 but appears not to zoom in quite as far.
3x video definitely uses optical zoom. You can compare 3x vs 2.7x frame quality.

Thx a lot but 5x doesent have hybrid zoom?
Mmmm, I'm not sure, but I think so.
Pic 1: 4,8x
Pic 2: 5x

Interesting! Fwiw, my screenshots were both taken at 10x to maximize distortion so I assume there was some optical/hybrid as well as digital zoom occurring on the 30fps sample and pure digital on the 60fps sample

Question How the zoom x10 this is a sharpening photo

How the zoom x10 this is a sharpening photo?
What?
[QUOTE = "oraned, post: 84351675, membre: 2474613"]
Comment le zoom x10 est-il une photo plus nette?
[/CITATION]
you have a true 10X lens this time, hard not software, that's all
I found that there is a lot of photo sharpening on the 10x lens. Not sure if it switches to the main and crops or uses the 10X

the aperture is very low, that' why it's using other cams to capture more light, so it's normal

I'd appreciate manual switching to get silhouette if I want to, but not possible
It oversharpens in every lens for me. Camera is absolutely fantastic except the over processing

Question Poor quality when taking pics of people

Hello guys,
First of all I love the camera. It is so good but I am facing two issues and would be good if anyone has a solution.
1- When recording a video and zoom between 1.1 - 2.9 the quality is super poor and unusable, however on 1X or 3X the quality is super sharp and great, I am not sure why the main lens act poor when zooming in to 2.9 before switching to the tele lens.
2- taking selfies is great when there is one person or two in the photo but when there are more than 2 in the photo, their faces become so cartoony with no details, even in day light, this happen also when using the back camera. I am using the standard resolution, no idea if using the 40mb or the 108mb will make any different
Other than these, the camera is great!

1. That's normal. 1.1 to 2.9x zoom is digital zoom. Don't expect the same quality as when you didn't zoom.
2. Use group selfie or disable bokeh from your selfie shots.
