camera - Picture size question - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

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.

How to set the camera picture size ratio to 3:2

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?

Which resolution is best for photos/videos?

According to "OpenCamera" I am using a 4160x3120 resolution when taking pictures.
This isnt a wide-screen resolution and I wonder if that makes any difference quality wise? Can I just stick to this resolution or should I go for a 16:9 reaolution (4160x2130) ?
Thanks !
Wide screen mode on the camera is the equivalent of taking a 4:3 image and cropping it in Adobe Photoshop. The image has fewer pixels after cropping, which is why the stock camera and some other camera apps make a big deal of pointing out the resolution at each setting. You don't lose anything in terms of quality as you are taking the image with a 13MP sensor. The software simply discards the unused data.
The setting is a matter of personal preference. I keep mine on wide screen despite the data loss because I like it. If you like it, set it and snap away. Otherwise stick with 4:3.

Camera aspect ratio

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!

Mi 9 stock camera app question

I have 16:9 mode enabled, but viewfinder (i.e. the screen) has this big semitransparent black area on the right that makes it difficult to visualize what's in the picture. The shutter and some options are on this big black stripe. But it is really getting in the way.
In 4:3 mode the stripe becomes solid and everything is ok, but in 16:9 part of the photo is actually behind that stripe which really makes it hard to take good pics.
Any solution or workaround? Do most people take 16:9 pictures these days?
I try take 16:9 it's look zoom in on camera app but after take photo it's look normal

Why do my 10MP pics looks the exact same quality as 40MP?

And why does it automatically switch between them itself ?
It will change if you use AI.
You will notice a huge difference when you zoom into each of them.
If you look at it side to side you won't really notice a distance until your either zoom into the picture or look at the photo on a bigger screen. Bottom line is the 40mp would have more detail
