Difference between revisions of "Taking Pictures with Different Cameras"

The best approach is to evaluate, separately, each resolution and format, on the same scene and subject, to determine which one works best. A common approach is to notice the format and maximum resolution, let's say 4:3 aspect ratio and 64MP and 9268x6936 resolution, and go for the one immediately below, 3:4 aspect ratio and 16MP, 4624x3468 resolution. The so-called full resolution, has a 4:2 format and is 4624x2084 and the 16:9 one is 4624x2604. In this vast array of possibilities I would suggest the 4:2 or 4:3 format, since it has the lowest resolution while it is still higher than a 16:9 1920x1080. The reason is that with slightly lower resolutions the camera has a reduced risk of post-processing, and more useful information is received by adjacent parts of the sensor, reducing artifacts.

<code>''Understand what formats and resolution capability your smartphone camera exposes. In most pictures you benefit having more useful pixels in a slightly narrow picture frame, so a 4:3 aspect ratio works well. Always avoid the super-sampled or maximum resolution of the camera in your app as it is severely processed.''</code>
