Lumia 1020 :: Photo Aspect Ratio Settings - What To Use
Aug 3, 2013
I'm curious what others are using on their 1020s in Nokia Pro Camera for the Settings -> Pictures -> Aspect ratio. Do you use 16x9 or 4x3?
On one hand, the 4x3 pictures use more of the sensor's megapixels, but don't display well on the screen (which is 16x9). An additional crop is needed for the down sampled versions to look their best, but setting the camera to take photos that way that way just ends up feeling like throwing away pixels unnecessarily.
What is the native aspect ratio for the camera sensors? On the Nexus 6 it was 16:9 on the front but 4:3 on the back. I can handle the front being 16:9, but if the back isn't 4:3 I will be seriously annoyed. I was hoping for a jump to 16mp so this would further hurt my pictures because I would be forced to crop down to 4:3.
lumia 1020, I upgraded my Lumia 1020 to cyan.I change the photo setting from 16:9 to 4:3 (in Microsoft camera or Nokia camera), and then close the app.Reopen the camera app, the camera lens shutter opens twice (open and close immediately, and then reopen).
I am confused on the file sizes/ reading many many reviews I keep reading about 16:9 photos at 30 plus MB, but for me so far my photos 16:9 are around 13-15 MB size? Maybe I got my Megapixels and MB confused. One photo is 7712 x 4352 =33 Megapixels , The JPG file size is 9.37 MB ....
Have problems with the orientation the photos come out from the Lumia 1020? I would always hold the phone horizontal and use the camera button to take photos. Sometimes the photos come in one orientation and other times they need to be rotated 90 degrees. When viewing the photos in camera roll, holding the phone vertical again I get full screen photos and swipe left/right for next/prev. But in the other orientation that sometimes the photos come out in,
So, I know that you couldn't access the High Res Photo from the Pro Cam apps unless you open it with a computer, now, how do I access those high res photo that I processed in Lightroom ?
I've just recently got my 1020, I love it, I'm new to Windows Phone, I've been on iPhone since it's inception. When I take a photo on the 1020, and view it straight after, is it showing me the 41mp (or 34mp perhaps) version or the 5mp version? In settings it's set to take both 5mp and 34mp. But it seems as though the quality of the photos is quite low, especially when you zoom in a little! I'm still trying to work out if there's an improvement when I export it to the computer, maybe this is something to do with viewing it on the phone? I used the HD Photo Viewer app, I didn't notice a difference but maybe I will after a take more photos.
I have the lumia 1020 and I have upgrade to Windows phone 10.I wanna put some photos in favorites and in start screen..somehow one I can not put one specific photo in start screen even it is favorite.
I want to delete the background photos/album. The only place I can see this album is through the lock screen setting. It will not let me delete the album or pictures.
how do I look at a picture in my camera roll and see what the date and time when the picture was taken?, the data shows up on my onedrive pictures when you click on an individual picture but that seems to be the only place I can find it
I've looked everywhere and can't seem how to turn this feature off. I have some personal photo's that I do not want on display when ever I whip my phone out in public. So how do you turn live tiles off for the "Photos" app.
And then upload the highest quality photo to an image hosting site (like imgur)?
I usually just email myself photos, but when I download them on my computer they are like less than 1mb so it looks like I'm getting a low quality image.
Nokia advertises 41mp pictures and I'm still unsure how to get these to my computer. I have the settings to 5mp JPEG + 34mp DNG
i have noticed that, when im taking a Photo with SmartCam, and later im going to save my edited Photo. I can only save one edited Photo from the original file. How can i save 2 different edited Photos? When i go back and i want to edit/save another Photo from the original file, it always overwrites the last saved/edited Photo.
When i take a Photo and i edit it, for example i zoom into a area, and save that zoomed part, it always replace the last edited Photo from the original file.
I tried,so many photography apps..certain apps good,but,the problem is,when we save after we make editing in that apps, they save my photo in low resolution..
My Facebook avatar / square on my phone went from the blue Facebook logo to suddenly importing and using the background picture I have on my FB page. I do not want that. I've delete that FB picture and replaced it with just "black" but still the phone is displaying that old background photo. I've pinned and unpinned and it's still there. I've turned the phone off and on. It's still there.
I've owned the 1020 since the day it was released. Every video I watch posted about it seems to show when taking pictures, all the camera settings on the screen at once. I'm definitely missing something, but I am only able to see one setting on screen at a time and adjust it like that.
What are the best settings to use on my 1520 for photographing fireworks. I prefer the built in app, and I am on 8. If there is a better suited app, I am open to that as well.
I set Settings > Ringtones + Sounds > Ringer > On Vibrate > Off
I change the volume and tap the "ring" icon so it switches to "silent".
I also set Settings > Ringtones + Sounds > Uncheck "All other notifications" (I'm thinking Skype ringing falls under this?)
I now use another Skype account on another computer to call my Skype account.Skype and/or the Windows Phone (Lumia 1020) completely ignore my settings: the phone starts ringing through the Skype app.Is there a workaround? I got the latest update from today (Oct 2 2013).
I work with a big corporation in Tokyo and the phone starts ringing in the middle of the night.The only workaround I found is to log out of Skype completely, forcing me to log in again during the day - a pain.
Method used to restore the settings from a Lumia 520 to a new Lumia 1020?I have Skydrive installed on both, and have the 520 setup to backup, but cannot see how to restore the settings and apps to the 1020.
I need to edit the default gateway setting for one of my wireless networks as there is a repeater that for some reason only allows me to connect to a handful of networks but if I'm nearer to it than the main wifi router the phone switches to it. I want to just manually set the default gateway as the main modem router like I have done on my laptop but don't seem to be able to edit the settings in Windows Phone 8 - they're all greyed out.
I was filming my family and the video stuttered and stopped altogether after a few seconds. Then the app went to a green screen (totally green) and I couldn't fix it. I had to reboot the phone to get it to work normally. Is that normal?
What's the wallpaper size/ratio for the Razr M? I'm moving from a D2, and I noticed that the wallpaper on the M doesn't scroll, so I'm assuming the size/ratio is different.
I am having trouble displaying SkySports video on my TV in widescreen/16:9. I am using the HDMI connection to my LCD HD TV. It displays everything full screen but when playing video from the web it displays in 4:3. I have managed to get it to display in 16:9 but I have not got a clue how I did it.
I received a new iphone from the apple store and had to restore from icloud.. many of my photos ended up corrupted. i've tried to reset and clear and re-do the restore from icloud and now have just given up to deal with my broken photos and delete them off my phone.. now - in the settings app - my iphone photo count and the camera roll photo count doesn't add up. is there still something wrong with my iphone? how do i reset the count or is there something else I need to do? should i set up as new phone?
My iphone 4s photo privacy settings went on the blink. I cannot turn any of the displayed app on or off. Also my recently added Instagram app isn't even displayed.
