A few camera questions

[Snappy Phoenix]

1) I saw in a video review that you can tap and hold the camera button and it will take many photos then process them and select the best 8 out of them for you to minimize the guess work as to which is the best photo of them? How do I enable that feature?

2) What is the difference between Panaroma and Photosphere mode?

3) I saw that there is an option to set the photo resolution at 16:9 / 8 MP. Would pictures in 16:9 look better than 4:3? /i don't care about MP really as 12 MP is pretty large I usually resize the photos down

4) When selecting HD Quality rather than 4K for the video, would the frame rate be 60 FPS? I love 60 FPS videos

Open the Camera app, tap Menu>Settings>Burst Settings, and turn on SmartBurst.

2) What is the difference between Panaroma and Photosphere mode?

Panorama is just on one horizontal plane, while Photo Sphere can be all around you.

3) I saw that there is an option to set the photo resolution at 16:9 / 8 MP. Would pictures in 16:9 look better than 4:3? /i don't care about MP really as 12 MP is pretty large I usually resize the photos down

The thing about MP is that the higher the MP, the more you can crop the photo and have it still look good. So I usually stick with the highest MP.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to #4.

Happy New Year!

3. take one in each mode of the same subject, then make your decision.

4. only 30fps.

apparently it has the physical ability to do so, but it has been disabled within the kernel.
