Hello,
I clicked some photos using the rear camera. The specs suggest the photos should be either 6 MB or 8 MB.
What I am getting are really low resoultions photos ~ 1.5 MB.
Is there a setting that needs to be switched on to get the size up?
The pictures should be 6 or 8 megapixels, not megabytes.
If you're taking pictures with a 4:3 aspect ratio, then it will be 8MP (3264x2448). If you're taking them with a 16:9 ratio, the pictures will be cropped to 6MP. The file size is not the same as the number of megapixels.

In the camera settings I can choose the picture size in MB, but all the resolutions are in 4:3 ratio.
How Do I set the camera picture size ratio to 3:2?
Anyone?
There are so many options available.. any quick reference on which is most optimum? I don't mind the biggest resolution/ size. I "plan" to backup my photos regularly. What do you all use?
16:9 All the time
4:3 offers the widest and top resolution. Form there you can crop to 16:9 or anything you desire.
16:9 cuts off the top and bottom of the sensor...
I use the highest resolution as well. If need other form factor can crop.
Hi guys,
To my surprise, my brand new P30 Pro camera's app doesn't come with 16:9 aspect ratio resolution which is a shame...
My old Mate 10 Pro had it and I can't see myself watching my picutres with those 2 white squares on the left and right of my pictures...
Let me link you an official thread about this issue: https://uk.community.huawei.com/mate-20-series-20/who-would-like-the-option-to-take-16-9-aspect-ratio-photos-with-your-huawei-phone-1520
For me, it's a bummer...
If any of you is able to "mod" the app to get back that 16:9 aspect ratio with high resolution, please advise ! Or any kind of contact to Huawei cuz this doesn't look THAT complicated to add back..
Regards
Yea, that would be awesome to have this. A phone this expensive doesn't have this crucial aspect ratio? How come? Don't people watch photos on tvs or monitors? 16:9 should be the standard for casual photographers.
It still has a full screen photo mode, but you have to lower the photo megapixels from 10 megapixels to (full screen) 6

Full screen is 19.5:6 aspect ratio, which is far too wide. The point is to view the photos on TV or monitor in full screen. This aspect ratio is rather useless, it crops too much. The camera is nice, but if I knew it doesn't have 16:9, I'm not sure if I would buy this phone. Now it's too late, already bought, and I'll have to spend a lot of time to crop thousands of photos I'm doing on my trips.
Also the default gallery application in which I can crop the photos has a bug - if I do a 4:3 photo in 40 megapixels and crop it to 16:9 in the default gallery application, it changes the photo resolution to 3648x2050 from 7296x5472, so I need to use some external app for that.
So if anyone is reading this:
DO NOT CROP THE PHOTOS WITH DEFAULT APPLICATION

Use Google photos app:
7296x5472--->7296x4102
40mp--->29,9mp

if you mean this one:
getdroidtips.com/download-google-camera-for-huawei-p30-pro/
I tried it. Sure it makes the photos, but it has lots of issues:
1. Camera switching doesn't work, I can only use the main camera. No wideangle, no tele
2. After zooming in the app crashes
3. Max mp I can get in 16:9 mode is 8.3, not 29.9
4. No portrait mode and lots of other modes from stock application are also missing.
So sure, I can do photos with 16:9, but what's the point if I can't use most of options that hardware provides? Cropping for hours or days after making thousands of photos is still the only option here.
There is not good solution, which is really sad.
And if you mean an app for cropping, I already found a better one - Simple Gallery and PicTools for cropping in bulk.
News about this topic? I have just faxed
Faced this on my Huawei and I feel really frustrated!

Hi guys,
I have just got the phone on Monday and I noticed that default setting for the camera is to take photos in 10 megapixels mode.
Is there any advantage of 10mp over 40mp mode that is available? What are differences?
I personally noticed that 40MP photos are darker and I need to hold my phone more steady than when taking them in 10MP resolution.
I attached 2 identical photos. The darker one is 10MP, the brighter one, little more blurry is 40MP
40MP option does not allow you to zoom. Only 1x

No real benefit. It uses pixel binning to downscale from 40mp to 10mp so essentially they end up the same quality
For quick snap or share I use the default Photo mode with 10 MP. If the photo will be used for web or print - then I use PRO mode + RAW format. RAW image from the main sensor is always is 40 MP - It does not depend on the resolution you choose.
RAW image + Lightroom edit + export is the best option for crisp and great quality photos.

That's true. If you're planning on shooting raw and editing yourself this is an instance where 40mp makes much more sense.
See men basically in well lit condition 10mp will take 9ver exposed pictures and 10 mp is for darker scenarios and 40mps use in day-time
Uooer image shot on 10mp u can see blue floor and red
Picture below is well balanced
I use 40 mp in when there is enough light, i prefer it for the more natural color and because I find 10mp over exposed
And I use 10 mp in low light condition
Hi all, I noticed that jpeg pictures taken with stock camera, even at 108mega pixels are not so large, the are around 4mb. I also have gcam installed and the ones taken with it are 44mb.
No way to increase stock camera quality?
Using stock camera the image file size is approx 36 Mb when selecting 108Mb camera on my S21U (SM-S998B).
Selecting HEIF format reduces it to 30Mb.
Yes, mine to. But if selecting 12mp the image become 4 mb

You can enable 108mpx in aspect ratio select, you will get 30MB Picture as you expect

Dear jacopastorius, JPEG is a low-resolution image format. If you want a high-quality image, you should try png, which is used for high-resolution images.
