FP3+: New camera module still generating 12 MP pictures

[pcm]

For those that didn’t read further up the thread…

Old and new camera photo comparison + new module general discussion

The “48MP” sensor is quad bayer, so it is not 48 million RGB photosites. It is 48 million red OR green OR blue photosites. When the image is rasterised by the sensor, four red, green and blue photosites are composed into a single RGB pixel. This means two important things: The 12 MP output image is full resolution You cannot get ‘free zoom’ by cropping the 48 MP image, because it doesn’t exist A lot of phone manufacturers use this marketing ploy.
