Camera and MP's

[*justintime*]

When shooting a photo in 16:9 the MP get reduced to "only" 9MP.

When i get the picture info from a G4 the info says 16mp.
So then MP's aren't reduced when shooting in 16:9 or 4:3.

Why is it that HTC does? Or is LG lying in the pic info.

The HTC u11's camera sensor is a native 4:3 sensor so if you take a 16:9 pic it will crop that 4:3 pic down to 16:9 which of course would reduce the number of total pixels because you are cropping the top and bottom of the pic. Same goes for other camera sensors that have a native 16:9 sensor. If you wanted a 4:3 pic it will crop the left and right sides, reducing the total number of pixels.

And what's wrong with a 9MP anyway ?

Did i say it's wrong? Can only imagine if you want a wall frame picture it can be difficult.

Correct, the LG G4's sensor has a native 16:9 aspect ratio and the U11's sensor is a native 4:3 aspect ratio.

Regarding 9MP, have you ever watched any 4k content on a large screen 4k tv, like a 60 or maybe even larger?

Do you know how many MP's a photo has to be ti display stunningly on a large screen 4k TV, that is to look as great as a 4k content video?

I really don't know... You tell me? I am not a photographer.
I watch photos on TV 65" not 4K...and with the G4 it looks good to me.
Didn't test the U11 though...
