iPhone camera resolution

How do you view, manage, and/ or modify resolution settings for the iPhone aa4s camera?


I just discovered that a whole bunch of recent photos are at 640x480, and won't make decent prints. I just did a test photo however and it is 2448 x 3264.


What a bummer. Why is it doing that? I haven't changed anything.

Thankd for your reply. I haven't changed any settings though. It seems to sometimes take photos at 640x480, and sometimes at a higher res. Does the iphone have some inner decision making process or something?


Does it have something to do with flash? It might... because I often turn the flash off for taking photos if they are indoors.

Ok yup that's what it is. I just checked the last 100 photos I took over the holidays (don't ask), and all the ones using iSight have a resolution of 640x480, and all the regular outward facing shots are the high res 2448x3264.


In my ignorance I assumed each camera was basically the same thing but it appears the iSight is a completely different product, in fact a webcam. Did not know that.


Thank you.
