Hello Group,
I got my LGV30 last weekend so I'm still a newbie with it but I am loving it so far. I have a couple of questions about the rear facing camera. I'm trying to understand the 16MP setting, here is why I'm kinda confused. Under the cameras settings I chose this: 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 . So when I take a picture shouldn't the result be at least near that particular MP?

When I hook up my LGV30 to my computer and look at the shots that I have taken a lot of them are 2 MP to 7 MP, so I dont understand...I do know that just because I selected 4:3 (16MP) 4656x3492 doesn't mean that every shot will be that large however it should be 11MP or better, correct???

Also, in the setting when I have to make a selection of the size I want I notice that this number is there too, 16:9 (12MP) 4656x2620, so if I am taking a 4:3 shot and then switched over very quickly to the 16:9 shot, then what MP is then used for the 16:9 shot since I didn't select a setting ?

Thanks, Jake

The sensor is a square.
The light from the lens is a circle inside that square.
The shape of the rectangle used to save the image inside the circle governs the MP.
The closer to a square (4:3) gives more MP, long-skinny rectangles (16:9) have less MP.

Note: megapixels and megabytes are two different things with little to do with each other. Due to compression, megabytes is not useful when talking about the size of images.
 
Thanks. it came out pretty good for a night shot. Dont let the lights fool you in the background cause it was pretty dark at the fire.
