All of the specs of this phone regardless of where you get them from (Google GSM Arena etc) all state that the camera has a main camera sensor of 50MP. But every picture I've taken so far has only come out at 12.5 MP.
Am I being thick, or does it only work in a special mode. For example I took this as a test this morning in 'Camera' mode.
The settings are full resolution/full image (4:3) and it only came out at 12.5MP as the screenshot shows.

How do you actually get 50MP images?
Thanks
Google uses pixel binning for the camera software where they combine every 4 pixels into 1 super pixel for superior quality. That's why the resulting image is 12.5mp instead of 50mp.
Thanks for that.
Just re-read the camera part of the GSMArena review and it says it clear as day there! Must have just skimmed that when comparing etc.
I must admit, I'm not a big taker of photos, but I saw the 50MP part and simply expected 50MP images.
I'm coming from a 4a so expected bigger images

Hello
I have noticed when I record 4K video that every geometric things have an ugly distortion, like square or rectrangular forms (doors, pictures on the wall, master, etc...)
See my example on my Z3C:
The frame is completly rectangular in reality but in the screen (and in the final video) there is a strange result.

(The black in the middle is normal, made with Paint because family picture )
The wide angle theory is not good for me because the wide angle effect is not in this way but in the exact other way:
So, the usual question: Is that normal and have you that too?
Thanks
Not sure what you did to get it that bad, maybe angle or distance but I can see the same effect on my phone yes.
Fortunately my laptop is not that warped.

Try to take your computer screen and see the difference, have you the same results than me?
Look the difference between auto mode and 4k mode with ugly distortion:
AUTO:
4K:
EDIT:
With steadyshot the issue is not here, it's only in normal 4K.
I know that the M7's camera is nothing to write home about, but some pictures I take come out very sharp and clear, others not so much. I took these two pics minutes apart and (obviously) in the same lighting conditions:

#1 is much sharper and clearer than #2. It seems the stock camera app will allow the image to be captured before the camera is finished focusing. Then it's hard to tell if the shot is truly in focus on the small screen. I go home and upload them for editing and find half the shots I take are slightly out of focus. Most of the pics I take are posed or of still subjects, so I don't need instantaneous shots. I'd rather have the app wait the extra split second and focus properly for the clearest possible image.
Is there any way to change the settings in the stock app, or a 3rd party app that will take clearer images? I don't mind spending a few bucks for a paid app if it's good.
Bump.
Anyone?
I know that this sounds really stupid, but does anyone else with an AndroidOne version of the Moto X4 only have a 4mp front facing camera? The specs on the Motorola and the Google Fi website both show the front camera as 16mp, but my device (purchased through the Google Fi website in early November) only shows a 4mp front camera...
Did I just get a dud or is there something I'm missing?

On mine, front camera defaults to 4MP. I changed it to 16MP in camera settings.
Moto Camera app defaults to 4MP, but can change the front camera from 4MP to 16MP. Google Camera app can only go up to 4MP.
I wonder if it's really a 4MP sensor, and Moto does some resolution upscaling to market it as a "16MP" camera?

I am using BSG MGC 8.1.101_A9_GV1x and set Pixel 3 as the model for 3x Zoom Len. I got small dash marks on the photos taken with HDR on. Would you guys know which image processing settings should be tuned to reduce the marks? Thanks.
Please also let me know the technique terms to describe this kind of dash marks/noises for my research on google. Thanks in advance.
For those who are suffering the same issue like me, please see below my proposed solution:
on BSG gcam, settings->Modules->Back (3.2)->Image Processing->Enable Ram patcher (turn it on)->Enable Global (turn it on), then Main Settings -> Luma Denoise (set it to 1.625), Luma Noise (set it to 3.0)
It is not 100% solution but should reach 99%, but not sure if this affect the picture quality in other aspects. Please do share with me if you find an even better solution.
