Picture Size

[Marcusdr]

Hi. On my old Galaxy phones there was always an option to change picture sizes for example 10 or 16 megapixels. Cant see anywhere with that option on S10+. Has anyone else found an option yet?

@Marcusdr: To access this feature please open the Camera app > Tap the cog symbol in the top left corner > As an example, select 'Rear Picture Size' although these instructions are applicable to both front and rear cameras (pictures and videos) > Select an aspect ratio e.g. 16:9 > Tap 'Resolution', located below your chosen aspect > choose from the available options. Hope this helps.

Hi. There is no option that says rear picture size. Only option I see is for video to set FHD or UHD and FPS.

[AndrewL]

Hmm, that's strange. Under 'Camera Settings' you should see Intelligent Features at the top, made up of Scene Optimiser and Flaw Detection. Below that you should have a series of picture options, the first being 'Rear Picture Size'. I'd recommend enabling 'Photo' on the main camera screen before selecting 'Settings' to ensure that all available options are there and not greyed out due to being incompatible with the current mode.

Hi.  What I have in settings when accessed in photo mode is.

Intelligent Features - Scene optimiser, shot suggestions, flaw detection.

Picture - Motion photos, hold shutter button, save options.

Videos - Rear video size, front video size, advanced recording options, video stabilisation

Useful features - HDR rich tone, tracking auto focus, grid lines, location tags, camera modes, shooting methods, storage location, quick launch, quick review,

Exactly same issue here, also what I found is it's not capturing photos at full resolution by default 

[Marcusdr]

I compared with a friends note 8 also running android pie and that had the options to change picture size in the settings. 

Is this a software issue s10+ or are they hidden somewhere else in a sub menu?

[Wallenburg]

I also cannot find these settings.

[Omar88x]

First thing i looked for when i got the s10+ cant see or find those settings anywhere.

[Omar88x]

Surely this has got to be updated. Its a massive part of taking photos. I have looked everywhere under settings in camera.

[Vetri]

Samsung has totally messed up the cam 

No option for videos in pro mode in s10 models too

No picture size and resolution change 

Low light performance is now worse compared to s7 s8

[theo23suki]

I thought it was by default in top resolution

[Wallenburg]

Full Landscape: 4032x1908
1:1 Landscape: 3024x3024
16:9 Landscape: 4032x2268
4:3 Landscape: 4032x3024

These are the fixed settings and cannot be changed.

[Marcusdr]

I agree that this needs to be changed. Camera does not seem like it is that good at the moment but could probably be improved with software updates.

[Vetri]

Honestly it looks like a bit rushed, take bright night for example - the output it produces is nothing but hilarious. Also try video capturing in low light, all I see is grains, as all of us know Samsung’s update history we can expect stability improvements but I’m not sure if that will improve these critical areas since it’s a very long way to go, And then you go to YouTube all you see is competition upping the game quite significantly in particular with AI, night mode and low light videos, fingers crossed 

[Jinjur]

Yes, this is yet another mess.

On my S7 Edge, i can choose the aspect ratio and the resolution. They both do affect each other but at least it is clear that this is the case. Agree with the rushed comment.

As for the camera performance, this *should* have been sorted by now for Samsung's sake but the updates have come and gone.........i think given the P30 Pro launch video yesterday, anyone looking for a phone with a focus on strong camera performance will not be looking at any S10 variant.

The P30 Pro quite simply has decimated the S10's camera offering. 

[theo23suki]

Not agree. The p30 pro is 5x optical zoom and nothing else

[Jinjur]

Really?

How about the night capability and the enhanced ISO values?

How about that new sensor?

How about having AF on the ultra wide lens?

How about the OIS and computational photography working to stabilise and enhance both 5x zoom and 50x zoom to produce usable shots? The s10 struggles with that at ZERO zoom.

Did you watch the event? Probably not but the demo put both Apple and Samsung cameras to shame. In a big way.

Put it this way. The 2018 Mate 20 Pro is toe-to-toe with the S10 and smashed it in many regards.

The P30 Pro just smashed the Mate 20 Pro

its simple.

[Vetri]

Jinjur is absolutely right, look at the ISO for low light it’s crazy and the low light video recording is simply stunning too. Also the camera AI on P30 series is simply miles better so there’s no match. The downside would be screen and EMUI 

[Jinjur]

Yeah. 100% agree...............screen and EMUI are stopping me right now

Well actually, it's mny experience with jumping on the S10 as soon as it came out is stopping me

Not interested in beta testing for companies any more.

[Vetri]

Exactly my thoughts too, you won’t believe I’ve lost faith in s10 cam to an extent I have been comparing it with S6 selfies side by side. My s6 and s8 has gcam ported APK running and in some cases they take better photos, what a shame after spending 1000£ we are here now
