[Q] Possible to abandon UltraPixels boosting the camera resolution of HTC One?

I have got the HTC One from the end of May. But I still have some questions on my phone's "UltraPixels" Camera.
I wonder whether this technology is a software adjustment or a hardware settings?
4 MegaPixels should be all right for daily usage, but I always like to pinch to zoom my photos while browsing.
HTC One failed to reveal some details in the picture comparing to Samsung GS4 or Sony Xperia Z. I want to ask if it is possible to abandon the UltraPixels technology to boost the camera resolution to 8MP or even 13MP? Any app can do it?

I believe it's hardcoded into the sensor that it only uses 4 mp for the image, while the rest of the pixels on the sensor used solely for exposure and gathering light

The phone only has 4 megapixels
They are larger than your regular phone megapixels, there isn't separate sensors for gathering light since that's how all camera work in the first place.
So to the OP, no.. Do some research on how these things work. Really.

You need to learn how to take pictures with the One because the pictures you have posted are terrible quality and the first is washed out. You're always best to focus on the sky and underexpose the rest of the shot and then edit in Photoshop or something because the quality of pictures I've taken are way, way, way better than them lol

Lens flare

Well, it seems that not only the Pixel suffers from lens flare...
Today I tried my op3t camera for the first time in low light condition and... the flare is there.
I'm attaching a picture, you can clearly see the 5 spots on the left of the lamp.
Does it do the same to you? As far as I understand it's a common problem between cameras.
Any way to avoid, or at least reduce it?
Thanks

There are some camera apps (like DSLR) where you can change the ISO, most of the time when you change to a high ISO value the flare would be less seen

Just tried it and it works. The thing that bothers me is that everytime there is an artificial light there is a flare...

I'm not an expert here but I think a lot of phones exhibit this. My wife's s6 edge plus has weird light retractions in low light.

Yes. Most phones have it. It largely has to do with the lens attached to the phone. I've had more success on phones such as the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Use such phones and go into manual mode. In all cases I was able to eliminate the lens flare. Too bad I had to switch to the 3T which is a better phone but poor shooter. Can't find a way to eliminate it there yet.

You captured a UFO! No way! Lol. Anyways my experience with low light conditions has been great. This is at a party. So clear I can zoom in to the musicians faces clearly absolutely 0 editing. With Snapseed I can lower the brightness of the lights overhead

Oneplus 3T app preview
I try to edit the same photo at Capture One.
contrast +19
light：+9
Saturation：-3
I like the highlight at its face of Oneplus version. It looks just exactly right.May be my skill is not good enough so when I saw the result Oneplus show, i'm shock!
Other issue, it's not as good as the preview one when I share it.
What i saw in the app:
Share version (use the share button)
other Sample:

It probably reads the camera profile. Probably something from sony could read it as well. And the vibrancy of the display may have affected how the image looks.

i uploaded the screenshoot. It's not about the screen and you can see the huge different between the two samples. I try it at Oneplus 5T and it came out the same good result.
Oneplus seems not just convert the raw but edit it very well.
The problem is it just a preview and not allow to output a full res file.

Open the raw file in camera raw (photoshop).
Make the shadows a little bit darker.
Little bit more contrast.
More saturation
sharp the image
and then you have the better image as on the oneplus

Yes you re right. If I spent more time i can finish it at lightroom. But Oneplus is the only one I used before can make that auto.

[HELP] Optical zoom how to?

Can someone explain to me how to use the Optical Zoom?
I've just got the Moment lenses and the mount suggests I can use the second camera, however everytime i've tried to check which lens is in use, I think i'm seeing the primary 2x digital
Help and advice welcomed

The telephoto camera is only used when the scene is bright enough though, otherwise the phone falls back to its main camera with a 2x digital zoom (which gives better results anyway in low-light scenes)

is there a way of checking which camera it is using?
from my checking it never uses it.

Hold your finger over the lens? You will be able to tell which one is being used.

In that case it uses only the main camera all the time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on Samsung's page it says its a 2x optical zoom.

It only works on the classic photo mode, not the pro one (which I don't know why)

12mp vs 48mp

So i was playing around with my phone. And found out that the 48mp takes "fake" photos. As in far from real. And 12mp takes almost the same as what im seeing.
12mp

48mp
So i found out that, 12MP works best for indoor,48MP for outdoors... Or 12MP for faster capturing and 48MP for slower capturing.

Maybe because of pixel binning...

Yes i know. 4 pixels into 1. But its making everything more white/blue...

If you're using the stock Asus camera app, the photos produced by that are pretty bad. Try a modded GCam and it will be a noticeable difference.

Okay i know. But if i want to insist on using the stock app. 48mp or 12mp? Im confused.

If you want to insist on using that, you will just keep getting these poor quality photos. The Asus camera software probably does not have a good algorithm for fixing the issues with 48 MP photos.

So in short just use 12MP right?

Well, 48MP has 4x more pixels than the 12MP. If Asus's camera software cannot optimize the 48MP, you see the imperfections even more since there are more pixels in the image. 48MP would only really be useful if you need to show these images on a larger screen or you're doing some sort of professional photo editing where you can benefit from a more pixel-dense photo. So yes, you can stick to 12MP since it saves storage space and looks slightly better.
