I'm using AOSP 4.0.3 ICS BETA1 with hotfix 3 and
Camera FIX Neo on my Neo, and I'm very satisfied.
But I can't work out how to take widescreen photos
with the camera. In camera settings you can only set
the picture size (8MP, 5MP), there is no aspect or wide
option.
But when recording videos the aspect is 16:9
Is there a way to set the camera in this rom to take
widescreen photos?
If not, is there a way to use a different camera apk?
Thank you for your help,
neo noob
Sorry bro if you want wide screen photos try a different camera app from market. as i dont think that ics camera takes widescreen photos :/
Seems that the sony ericsson default camera app just crops the image when in widescreen mode. thanks for your help!
If you notice on the default camera and most other market camera apps (I'm using a Nexus 4) the preview before you take the picture get flipped when you take the shot horizontaly.
Is there an app that allows you to flip the preview horizontally before you take the shot, on preview screen?
I have tried a few camera apps and none have this feature, the closest is instagram's camera that shows the in the preview what the actual shot will be like, in self-potrait mode.
If you don't understand what i mean i want something like a true mirror.
Thanks for your help. :silly:
Hello,
I'm looking for a camera application which makes photos using 16:9 format when they are horizontal and 4:3 when they are vertical. I like seeing the photos without the black sidebands on PC / TV, and it would help minizing it. Does anyone know some app?
Thanks!
Hi, the size of picture taken does not match what I see in the camera app, and by size I don't mean image size on disk or resolution.
Basically, what I see "through the lens", as in, what I see on screen when I open the camera app, is slightly smaller than what I get when I take a picture and view it in Gallery. It seems the camera is capturing a little more than what's shown to me on the phone screen. It's pretty annoying when you line up a nice shot only to have the picture taken framed slightly larger than what you saw on screen.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm using CM10.2.0 stable for i9300, clean install (wipe system, data, cache, preload), with stock CM10.2 camera and gallery.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What you see on screen in AOSP camera is 16:9 and camera sensor is 4:3, so you have an answer
You can shoot in 6MP 16:9 if you want exactly the same.

Thank you so much.
Do you mean that the camera only shoots 4:3 in 8MP? Is this because 8MP is its native resolution so it matches the camera as 4:3?
Is there any way I could take advantage of the 8MP camera but have it shoot in 16:9?

Exactly. Camera is able to shoot in 4:3 in 8MP mode. Basically it's an industry standard. Almost all cameras (from iPhone to even entry level DSLRs) shoot in 4:3. Other popular standards are 3:2 and 5:4. 16:9 is used mostly by cinematography.

No. Either you have to choose 8MP 4:3 or 6MP 16:9.
6MP 16:9 would be nothing more than cropped 8MP picture to maintain 16:9 ratio.
If you select 40MP in the awful camera app it will disable a lot of features, so i'll shot 10MP photos which can not fill out a 4k 16:9 screen. This fact and that you can't select the 16:9 format in the camera app bothers me since i usually display the photos on a screen. I haven't seen it mentioned much in reviews or by users, but does it bother anyone else?
The standard ratio of images in mobile camera app is 4:3 due to its sensor size, DSLR is using 3:2, you need to crop it to 16:9 using built-in editor or any 3rd party editing tools. I think action cam is the only gadget that uses 16:9 ratio
