I am interested in this device, but I have a question about the camera.
Is it possible to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio (even though the screen is not 16:9)? And if so, at what megapixels count is it?
To compare: my compact camera has 16 megapixels and in the settings there is a 16:9 aspect ratio available, but at 12 megapixels which is fine.

Is 18:9 and 10 megapixels
Thanks. No P20 lite for me then, although I can crop the pictures to 16:9 myself.
I am not a fan of those new aspect ratio phones, I like 16:9 better.

so slightly better then 720p?
Slightly. It just has added height. It is a 16:10 ratio instead of 16:9. Its not a big difference, and is basically the same thing between 1920x1080 versus 1920x1200.
Personally, the extra height is a plus.
Aspect ratios are a funny beast. HDTV (720p as well as 1080p or FullHD in marketing terms) is 16:9. 800x480, which I consider to be the "classic" Android resolution--it's been more or less standard from the time of the Nexus one, up through the SGS2--has a 15:9 (aka 5:3) aspect ratio, so it is slightly wider when held in portrait than a GNexus. The Note is 1280x800, so at 16:10 (or 8:5) it lies in between the two--not as skinny as a 720p phone, but not as wide as a "typical" 800x480 phone.
On a complete tangent, I miss when 16:10 was the standard for monitors. Most monitors now are 1080p rather than 1920x1200; the latter is really a superior resolution for a computer imo.
Don't forget it uses Pentile display, not RGB, so there are less subpixels than regular screens. With that said, I thought my Note has excellent screen.

1280x720 to keep the same aspect ratio
No its 1280x800, which is .625 aka 16:10, not .5625 which is 16:9. It doesn't matter though, keep your video at its original ratio, if you want to stretch the video, let the video player do it.
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.

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.

Guys, after months with the Z2, I still have the following question: After all, what better resolution for taking pictures?
20.7 Mp or 15.5 Mp or 8 Mp ?
I like the pretty color pictures, defined and crisp!
I've done several tests! There are times when I prefer 20.7 Mp, there are times when I prefer 8 Mp!
Whatever. Would you like a specific and technical opinion on this subject! Much has been discussed here in the forum, but I did not follow!
15.5 Mp is better than 8 Mp ???
Thank you!
I prefer 2Mp for daily use, I don't see any reason why to use 8 Mp or higher Mp for watching photos on PC or making photos cca 10x15 cm.
20.7 MP is the best.
2mp will provide best quality
20.7 will provide highest resoultion in 4:3 scale
15mm will provide highest resolution on 16:9 wide screen resolution
2mp or 8mp is suggested for best quality
2mp best
mostly always I have taken photographs on my Mobile phone in its maximum resolution (so say a mobile phone has 13mp maximum resolution I have left it on that setting) but at 13mp and even some resilutions below if you go into camera app settings you will see it takes the photo in 4:3 (square?) dimension I am personally thinking of changing things and shooting at a lower resolution at 16:9 Widescreen setting. I mean at the end of the day if you had a modern film camera that would take photos landscape (really old film cameras took in square format) and then the later digital cameras would take 16:9, then you have Widescreen televisions and widescreen laptops and if you wanted to display photos on youtube you would use 16:9 and a photo (especially a scenic one with a landscape would look better in 16.9)
so I am just wondering what other on here have their phones cameras set to? - and what do you find the best?
my defaut ration was 10mpx while a have a 13mpx camera so i changed it for 13mpx, it's true that the photos are 4:3 with 13mpx but i noticed that the frame is wider than 10 mpx simply crop the photo to have it on 16:9

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.
