Are you guys using 13mp 4:3 or 16:9 with lower res?
Normally 16:9. Most photos or video I shoot will be displayed on a TV, computer monitor, or phone. Just about all of them are 16:9.
If I were printing a lot of photos, 2:3 would be ideal.

I've been using 4:3, it's the same width you just get more of the vertical image.

As I'm sure you're all aware, the camera on our phone only takes pictures in 13mp in 4:3 mode, otherwise it's taking pictures at 9.6mp in the typical 16:9. I was wondering which mode you guys would prefer? It would be nice to use all 13mp that the camera has to offer, but everything now-a-days is widescreen, so 4:3 just wouldn't look right. What do you think?
I'm a fan of the 16:9 aspect ratio.
I cranked the size down even from the 9.6mp. That's more than I need.

So, I'm considering buying a G5, but i have certain questions regarding the cameras.
As we know, the camera sensors are native 16:9 format, compared to really most of smartphones which are 4:3.
What if you shoot photos in 4:3 format??
Will the Megapixels actually cram down by much? And If so, by how much??
And lastly, I wonder how wide angle shoot will look like at 4:3?
Can someone owning a G5 give me some photo sample and info?
I'd greatly appreciate and really convince me to buy this awesome phone!
THANK YOUUU :fingers-crossed:
Hi guys, there is a real way witouth mods to chang total screen resolution on android device that have 2k display to 1080p for better gaming and battery life?
Thank for the response
Ps: my english are very bad, and i am sorry if i post this tread in the wrong location.
I don't know why when I zoom (normal mode) to 2x the 2nd lens is not function. Only in live focus mode it will be 2x optical zoom. You can try by using the finger to cover the 2nd lens (at the edge) and try to zoom. Is this SAMSUNG cheat us or for which reason?

You won't get many replies...there are already 2 or more threads discussing this.
the reason it doesnt use the 2x zoom optical is because of insufficient lightning for the 2.4 aperture, you need about 100+ lux minimum for it to work, download an sensor app to see what amount of lux is inside the room or area you are.
putting a finger on the secondary lens doesnt work, when the second camara detects not enough lightning or something blocking it, it will use only the main camara
the reason it will always use it in live focus is because in live focus u cant create the effect without using it, it will use it without caring about lightning, or something blocking it.
could have found out what im saying yourself, instead you made assumptions.
the iphone dual camara system works exactly like this, no good lightning? no telephoto..... except on the note 8 it also turns off if something is blocking it apperently.
The wide/main lens has better low light image quality than the telephoto lens. When taking a picture outdoors, the scene is bright enough that the telephoto lens will be used when you click on the x2 icon. If you take the picture indoors, even with artificial light, the phone sees the you get a better picture from the main lens so it uses that instead, and then crops the picture to get the zoom effect.
Look at the pictures attached. That's the same shot from the main and zoom lens. In low light, the zoom lens has worse image quality, with increased graininess from pumping up the ISO and a lot more blur from having to keep the shutter open longer to get more light in

Hello Group,
I got my LGV30 last weekend so I'm still a newbie with it but I am loving it so far. I have a couple of questions about the rear facing camera. I'm trying to understand the 16MP setting, here is why I'm kinda confused. Under the cameras settings I chose this: 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 . So when I take a picture shouldn't the result be at least near that particular MP?
When I hook up my LGV30 to my computer and look at the shots that I have taken a lot of them are 2 MP to 7 MP, so I dont understand...I do know that just because I selected 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 doesn't mean that every shot will be that large however it should be 11MP or better, correct???
Also, in the setting when I have to make a selection of the size I want I notice that this number is there too, 16:9 (12MP) 4656x2620, so if I am taking a 4:3 shot and then switched over very quickly to the 16:9 shot, then what MP is then used for the 16:9 shot since I didn't select a setting ?
Thanks, Jake
I seriously don't know what are you doing. I checked my photos and all of them are 16 MP or 13 MP (Wide angle).
As for the aspect ratio: Camera sensors are tend to be 4:3 - so it is 16MP. When using 16:9, the output from the sensor has to be cropped, so the final result is 12MP, for 18:9 is 11MP etc.
Thanks for the reply. This is so weird as on my cell the shots look great but looking at them on my computer it shows them ALL as way under size. Maybe its a Windows 7 thing but I dont know as of yet...still troubleshooting.

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that the "16MP" is if you use the outdated 4:3 aspect ratio. Wide-screen will give you less, but turning the phone "sideways" or seeing on a 16:9 computer monitor or TV will be much more aesthetically pleasing.

I think you are confusing MB with MP. When you say "a lot of them are 2 MP to 7 MP", I believe you are looking at file size, not pixels.
MB is file size. Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte, etc. Plus, you can have different file sizes for the exact same picture, depending on whether it was saved in PNG or JPG. (The default on our phone is PNG format but some phones use JPG.)
Whereas, MP refers to the amount of pixels in an image. Usually higher MP in a camera means better pictures, but don't go by that alone:
http://www.blurbiness.com/web/en/bl...egapixels-does-not-mean-better-quality-photos
So you may find a camera or smartphone which, having less Megapixels, but with a better sensor and better lenses, gets clearer images than other cameras with more Megapixels. ... Basically, if you use a worse camera and worse lenses with more Megapixels, you will have more worse quality pixels

If I am understanding your question correctly, and forgive me if I'm not -- when you switched over to 16:9 shot "very quickly" it would take 16:9. However, that would not be your DEFAULT setting when you open the camera app. Next time you open the camera it would probably be back at 4:3.
You probably want 16:9 to be the default, so you should select that setting. Close the camera app, then re-open and see if it sticks.
