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.
iPhone 4S
I keep reading threads that specify resolution cannot be changed, but I have numerous pics in my roll that are 640 x 480, while I have modified nothing. Really frustrating :/...
Hi, I'm not too sure but I'm guessing that it could be something to do with turning th HDR mode on when you take photos.
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.
Hi I've just checked my photos and I think that it may be to do with which camera you used, the front facing or the iSight. If you used the front facing the resolution is far higher.
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.
No worries Chris, if its not too much trouble could you please rate my answer?

Uncool, I'm afraid:
