Droid Turbo Picture File Size - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Is there any way to change the megapixel setting the camera shoots? Some of the pictures I take could have smaller file sizes.

When you open the camera app open the settings by placing your finger on the left side of the screen and drag it to the right. Then you will see the settings menu and select the rectangle with the L to chose from widescreen (15.5mp) or Standard (21mp). Those are the only options I am aware of with the stock camera app. The Lenovo one mentioned here is much better. I use version 3.6.7 with the call/sms/contact etc permissions and the popup and the QR-scanner removed This is a good explanation of the different sizes.

Disable image email image resizing

I couldn't find (search) how to disable the image resizing that happens when an image captured with the Kaiser camera happens on the camera side, or email side. I took some images, browsed for them, then emailed them to Flickr. The images were resized to a paltry 480x360. Far from the 3MP resolution that I was expecting.
Is the image resizing happening with the email client or the camera? And how to disable?
i am able to access that setting menu by opening an image off my storage card and then clicking "menu" and then "options" and it brings me to the file resize menu where you can select the resize options and you can set this to "original size"

what is the best resolution to contacts tab?

i have pictures to some of my contacts.
in the contacts tab they look very blury.
what is the best resolution for this function?
the best are 256x256 pixels, because builtin rom pictures of unknown callers has the same resolution
However, when in Contact Picture mode, the built in camera takes 240 x 320 pixels pictures, so I would gather this is more appropriate?
Try 240x240.
non of those, tried all.
I'm using 480*640 for favourite people... Beautiful and very crisp...
If you sync contact pictures from outlook you can change it from Favourite people screen soft "menu" key..
I use many size, dependin on what picture i have. Myself, I use resolution range from 98x98 to anything bigger.
Then the Trick is, you don't add picture at Outlook, but instead, add picture at TF3D contact. That will get make picture stay very clear and sharp.
I do found that, contact I add with picture resolution at 98x98 (or something around that, i have both 98x98, 99x98, etc) stays clear after I flash rom and need to re-add people. Bigger resolution picture i added that were sharp and clear; some became blury after re-add.

great!!! that works.
There is a much easier way of doing this than resizing. You don't have resize any picture. I had the same problem until I discovered this very straight forward way.
1. Go photos and videos section of the touchflo.
2. click on the image you want to add to the a particular contact.
3. click on the image again once it appears by itself.
4. click on the icon on the far right, the menu icon.
5. select Save to Contact.
6. Choose the contact you want to assign the picture to.
You will have a very crisp picture.
Another method is this:
1. Go to the people section of your touchflo.
2. Add the contact you want to have appear there.
3. It will prompt to add a picture to the contact.
4. select one.
This will also appear as crisp.
If you already have the contact there all you simply change the picture using the menu. That should do it.
Thank you - that indeed works and the 3d pictures look nice and crisp.
Beats me what strange algorithm is behind that, but as long as it works...

[Q] Spen editing photos

Can someone tell me of a good program to edit photos using the spen? I have a photo in my gallery, I deleted spen and it brings up the pen. BUT, I cannot zoom in on the photo because when spen is active any screen touches are read as pen writing. I tried zooming in and then spen, but when you active spen the photo zooms back out. I'm sure there's a way to do this but it's alluding me.
Workaround for zooming and editing using s-pen

hey man, if you found a solution to your problem let me know...meanwhile all i can suggest is a workaround.
1. download quickpic from google play (need this as the default gallery app shows up the menu whenever the spen is brought near to the screen)
2 open any photo in quick pic.
3.take a screenshot of the photo in full screen mode using ur s-pen.
4.when the screenshot is automatically opened, you can edit it using the s-pen
5. to zoom in use pinch to zoom. you can still use the s-pen on the zoomed in image to annotate, draw, etc.
6. when u zoom out, whatever you have written with the s-pen will also zoom out..
7. save the screenshot.
i don't know how the resolution will change if you use a screenshot of a photo rather than the actual photo, but it seems to work well enough for me.
have fun and if you do find a solution to actually zoom in and edit photos without taking screenshots, please do reply back here.
regards,
unless I'm misunderstanding ...
1. open s-memo, create new memo
2. click the photo icon (to left of microphone icon on the toolbar)
3. click "picture" then "gallery"
4. select picture to edit
5. adjust aspect if desired using arrows then tap outside image to fix
6. use pinch & zoom to zoom into a section of the picture (if you do this smoothly there should be no mark left by your fingers, but if there is, just click "undo" to remove it before proceeding)
7. edit zoomed image with s-pen as desired
8. save or export once finished
note - above only works if you have the "s-pen only" option in the settings menu unchecked - otherwise your pinch & zoom gestures will be ignored.

Picture size too large

Hi,
Whenever i take a picture or a video, the size of it is too large. I took a 80 second video today and the size of that video was 180MB. Normal image size is of 2.5/3 MB. Previously i've used Samsung Galaxy S4 and there was an option to reduce the image/video size.
I searched the settings but i didn't find any option to reduce the image size or the video size. There are 3 options: HD, Slo-Mo and Ultra HD and mine is on HD.
Is there any option from which i can reduce the image/video size. If yes,then tell me please.
Regards
As far as I know, the only way to reduce the image size is to switch it to widescreen, that'll drop it from 13mp to 9.7mp. For video, the options you mentioned are all we have. Maybe try a different camera app?
Yeah... I never understood this, but IIRC the Google Camera app allows lower rez captures.
If you can access build.prop, you can activate the "hidden" Motorola camera features.
Change the <ro.build.tags=release-keys>
to <ro.build.tags=test-keys> in build.prop.
Once you do this, you should see a ladybug icon when you swipe to camera settings. There you can adjust image and video resolution and therefore, size.
(The whole post is there somewhere in the moto G forums. If you'd like a more detailed explanation, search it up there. Cheers!)

Question Camera App Bugs

Found a couple of bugs in the native camera app so far. One of them I posted in another thread which is the inability to turn off the obnoxiously loud camera shutter sound. There are even slider toggles to do it found in two different places in the camera app, but enabling and disabling the toggle does not turn off the sound.
The second one has to do with the beauty mode when taking selfies. When using the selfie camera, if you select the beautification option at the top (the icon that looks like a girl's head), you'll see 3 options at the bottom: Origin, Auto, and Personal. If you select Personal, you can adjust individual settings for things like slim face, smoothing, eye size, skin tone, color and brightness by utilizing a slider for each option. Well with the SMOOTH option, the placement of the slider that you choose NEVER sticks where you want it. For example, if you set the slider to 30 (it goes from 0 to 100) and then go to another option like eye size, and then come back to the smoothing option, the slider will not be where you put it. From what I can tell, the SMOOTH option is the only option where the slider never stays where you put it. It's pretty maddening. I've tried to clear the cache and data of the camera app but that doesn't work. In addition, the slim face option is hit and miss. When adjusting it you can see it trying to slim your face the farther you slide it to the right, but sometimes the app bugs out and it goes back and forth from slim to fat to slim to fat, etc. It's just buggy.
In the multi shot mode the EXIF metadata is not correct. It seems that the EXIF data from one of the modules (the one in focus?) is written to the two other images too.
In the "normal" camera mode the "2x" module works in the 35mm equivalent mode what is about 1.2-1.3x.
In the manual and the 64MP mode the 2x module is cropped an upscaled so that the label 2x is matching.
RAW/DNG images from ProShot show that the "2x" module is in fact a 1.2-1.3x module with an equivalent focal length of 35mm.
Is is also a shame that the multishot excludes the 2x module and incorporates only the 0.5x, 1x and 5x module producing a huge zoom gap in series.
Firmware MyOS12.0.8_A2022PG_G LB camera slows down in video mode, shoots jerkily. how to fix?
