May I ask why the picture size option in the camera settings shows 16MP for the front camera, and 12 MP for the rear camera, it should show 48MP for the rear camera, I think ?
As the sensor of the FP3+ is a Quad-Bayer-type, there is no possibility to get a 48MP picture out of it. It samples four pixels on the sensor for one output pixel.
See the technical data on the Fairphone page
Hi all.
I am a new FP3+ user and I am running LineageOS 19 on it
It seems, that it is not possible to use the â+â features in this combination. The default camera app lets me set not more than 12 MP as solution for the rear camera.
Is this fact, or can this be enabled by i.e. using another app?
Let me have that very clear: I have very few (and very clear) requirements on a phone. Camera solution is one of the least important. However, I would not like the thought, not to use the full power, just because I missed something.
If you want to know more about why and why it is called a 48MP camera then please see
As far as apps go you can install Gcam apps. I use Nikita but it wonât change the function of the Bayer design output. Although it may provide better outputs in other aspects. Search for Nikita etc. on this forum for examples. There are may posts about quality etc.
I decided to upgrade the rear camera module to the Camera+ Module 48MP one. I installed the replacement module (which was labeled Camera+ on both the package and the module itself), it works but does not offer resolutions higher than 12MP (4000x3000).
I tried both the stock app and OpenCamera. I reinstalled the apps. Still only 12 MPâŚ
What am I missing?
Seriously? This needs to be stated much more explicitly!!!
The sensor is marketed as an upgrade.
The sensor is marketed as 48 MP in the name!
The sensor specification reports:
0.8um, 8000x6000 (48MP) << This line in particular stands by itself with no further qualifiers!
This is misleading advertising, I will be returning the product and expect a full refund.
For a company that prides itself in transparency, this is especially concerning. Itâs no better than everyone elseâŚ
You didnât read the specs it seems. It is explained in the specs on the Fairphone shop as follows:-
As mentioned it has been explained to other users.
Thanks to pixel binning technology, our new high-definition 48-megapixel sensor is always ready - even for low-light scenes.
Here, four pixels are combined to form one large superpixel that captures four times more light while being friendly to your phoneâs storage (equalling 12-megapixel photos).
You are being rude here⌠If you leave it to a separate page to explain in detail why your â48MPâ only actually produces images with 12 million pixels accessible to the user, it isnât my fault for not reading it. It is deliberately misleading.
The very existence of this thread with multiple posts is an indication that the shop page is insufficiently clear.
