iPhone 5 camera, how to change megapixel?

When I first got my phone I set the camera to have a low megapixel so I can save on space.

Now I need to have better quality picture so I can use them on my website, but i can't find how to increase the megapixel so i will get a better quality and size for each picture.


Ill appreciate your help.

The megapixels on the phone are a constant value that will never change. If you are using the default Camera app, you will always get the highest resolution possible for your photos. The amount of light and HDR will affect your photos a lot.


Most of the time, point-and-shoot cameras (especially phone cameras) are inferior when compared to a DSLRs or Mirrorless camera, so iPhone 5 photos may not be the best.


Hope this helps,
