    MIUI 12.6 21.6.9

    Works pretty much OK on my Mi 11 Ultra. I just flashed it today. I did notice some camera lag, specifically when zooming. At high zoom, when you are trying to position the image, the image on screen moves very fast. This is not surprising, but the displayed image lags behind the movement of...

    Hi I hope this is the right place... Issue: Using ROM 9.3.28 on MI 9 Camera2 reports incorrect max resolutions for front and rear (48MP) camera Detail: Camera2 API from Google Play reports for the back camera: 4000x3000 (12MP) and should be 8000x6000 (48MP). Also it reports 2592x1940 (5MP)...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Well I may have answered my own question. I think you can get 12MP pixel binned as described above and, depending on which pixels you group together, you can get proper 48MP output. If you look at the following image: If you slip one row and column of pixels, you can make a group of 4...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Ok no worries. I quite like paint.net 'cos it's free and easy to use. Upscaling is used often in webcams etc. You know those 50MP webcams you can get from China for £3.99? They are probably 5mp upscaled to 50MP. What a scam! Yes I agree this sensor is quite new and the mi 9 even newer...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Sorry I didn't explain it properly. In order to compare two images at different resolutions, you load the smaller one into a paint program and change the resolution to the larger image. I did this in paint.net and chose Image/Resize and chose 200% so the 12MP image is now 48MP. Then you crop...

    Hi did you upscale the 12MP image to 48MP (200%)? Cheers Steve

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    OK so try again. The original pictures are here: *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum* 12MP Stock Cam 48MP The 12MP image was upscaled to 48MP (8000x6000) and both were cropped. The results were below: The above image is the stock 48MP cropped image The above is the 12MP upscaled image. My point is that they are...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    OK so here's a few jpegs. The first one is a 48MP taken with the stock app. The second is a 12MP taken with the ported *no-support-for-this-app-on-this-forum*. Third is a crop of the stock 48MP and the fourth is a crop of the 12MP image scaled 200% to 48MP. OK so now I'm stuck. The forum tells me "The uploaded file is too...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Yes I think you can often replace the word 'effective' with 'not'. I think I need to take some photos and try and bottom it out. Steve

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Well, I think the output of sensors are Bayer format. In order to see this properly, a sensor image has to be de-bayered to convert back to a normal RGB image. I think you're right though, how could you get 48M real pixels if colours in a 2x2 matrix are all the same? Just guessing, but what I...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Hi Yes I think just about all sensors output Bayer info due to the pixel colour configuration, but it's the resolution I'm after. I'm stuck at 12MP and want 48MP. Cheers Steve

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Hi @cobben thanks for the link. I've read it and I think they are saying is that for low light, groups of 4 pixels are combined to produce a 12MP image for more pixel area/better low light performance. They also say that you can take images in 48MP mode. I must admit though, the 100% crops of...

    48MP Raw for 3rd Party Apps on Mi 9 EEA?

    Yes I've read it's a 'quad bayer' arrangement, but I can't understand whether the only output is pixel binned 12MP or you can get RAW 48mp. Confusing... Steve
