Note 20 Ultra Zoom Photo

[Frogman_190]

I was taking some photos of the moon earlier today and trying out the zoom settings ( these 2 photos are at 10x zoom )

I noticed that the photos were coming out blurry even though they looked sharp on the app.

So I took a screenshot of the app (1st photo) and compared to the actual photo (2nd photo) I think it looks much clearer and is the actual image i wanted to see .

So I guess what i'm asking is why is the actual photo so blurry comapred to what I thought I was getting ... Obviously software , but what gives..

( after previewing the post I see the actual photo is sideways , but I think my point is clear still.)

So out of all the different camera modes,which one is better. I'm undecided between 16:9,FULL, and 3:4 108MP.

Anything that isn't 3:4 isn't at full resolution, the other aspects are all cropped images.

Difference between standard 3:4 and 108mp is that one uses pixel binning to gather more light and produce a 12mp image while the other disables pixel binning to produce a 108mp image. The 108mp image won't look good unless there is plenty of light, are significantly slower to save, and near impossible to share because of the large image size. Social media tends to shrink images to around 5mp or less.

So between 9:16,3:4,3:4 108MP which one is the best?

The camera sensor is 3:4 by default, so if you use 9:16 it's cropping the top/bottom of the image sensor off and reducing the actual size of the image because there will be fewer pixels, I wouldn't recommend using it.

As to 3:4 vs 3:4 108mp that will depend on the situation and what you intend to do with the image afterward. Standard 3:4 creates a 12mp image because the sensor combines 9 pixels into one, that is what pixel binning does. This allows the sensor to be more sensitive to light, so in most situations the image will look the best on this setting. It's the default setting for the camera and what I would consider best.

3:4 108mp has limited use, it creates a larger and more detailed picture if you have plenty of light like outside on a sunny day. This allows you to zoom in and see more detail and gives more potential to crop the image but if it's going on social media the compression down to a much smaller image size will eliminate the extra detail.

Your best bet is to use 3:4.

For most usage 3:4

What setting is "full" and what's it's used for?

I think it's 16:9.
