8 megapixel widscreen ????

---

Here's an interesting concept.

Can we adjust a setting to get 8mp widescreen? Either in the build.prop where we can adjust the flash or in Ticamproperties I think in the etc folder.

If possible would be amazing! Haven't been able to figure this one out though.

When you make a 8MP picture widescreen it becomes 6MP...
A 8MP widescreen picture would require it to be wider than 3264 pixels which I think is not possible

The only problem with your idea is the fact that 8MP resolution (something around 3264x2448) has a different aspect ratio than the Droid 3's screen (16:9) You won't be able to get a widescreen 8MP image unless you manage to stretch the photo out, not sure if that would ruin the image.

It would....

8 megapixel widescreen, by definition, does not/will not exist.

Nothing will prevent to build a 16/9 sensor with 8 Mpixel, simply most of the sensors are still 4/3 or 3/2, and the droid's one is not an exception.

You could do something similar to 8MP, although it's not going to be the 8MP pixel resolution.

Any image with 8 millions of pixel is an 8Mpixel image, even a stripe made of 1x8,000,000 pixels.

It's different when you name a format like VGA, qVGA, qHD and so on.

Those definitions are imping not only the number of pixels but also the aspect ratio.

8MP widescreen picture would need to be around 3760*2115. The sensor can't take a 3760 pixel wide image in 1 shot, so....(or that tall for that matter)

For the record Omnivision has already an high megapixel sensor which is natively 16/9.

It's a 4320x2430 (10Mpixel) sensor

Maybe we will see it on droid 5 or whatever...
