[maple] Back camera doesn't support 19MP photo resolution

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

AOSP ROM has no 5056x3792 (4:3, 19.17MP) resolution that stock ROM has.

Other differences:

• AOSP ROM has non-standard (not 4:3 and not 16:9) 5504x3104 (172:97, 17.08MP) resolution. Is it instead of 5504x3096 (16:9, 17.04MP) resolution that stock ROM has, but AOSP ROM has not?
• AOSP ROM has no 4608x2592 (16:9, 11.94MP) resolution that stock ROM has.
• AOSP ROM has non-standard 3280x2464 (205:154, 8.08MP) resolution that stock ROM has not.
• AOSP ROM has 5312x2988 (16:9, 15.87MP) resolution that stock ROM has not.
• etc (compare screenshots):

This issue may affect other devices, not only Sony XZ Premium (maple).

BTW, effective pixel count of IMX400 image sensor is 5520 (H) x 3840 (V) (23:16, 21.2 MP). Is it possible to enable resolution higher than 5056x3792 (4:3, 19.17MP)?

DRM issue?

@YumeMichi

DRM issue?

No. As @jerpelea explained in https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/device-sony-lilac/issues/5, AOSP ROM does not use the DRM keys for camera functionality.

[jerpelea]

camera is set to 17Mp 16:9

@jerpelea

camera is set to 17Mp 16:9

What do you mean? Could you please write exact resolution in pixels for 17Mp 16:9?

What camera API version you tested? Camera 2 API or Camera 1 API. List of available resolutions may vary depending on the camera API version.

Just checked in Open Camera app on Xperia XZ Premium (AOSP), I can succesfully shot only at 17MP maximum, but it is 172:97 (5504x3104), not 16:9.

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

@jerpelea Is it limited in binary blobs? Could you please enable (unlock) 19MP for AOSP?

[kholk]

First of all: it's not as easy as it sounds.

The 172:97 aspect ratio wanted to be 16:9, and it "sorta" is, internally... and we currently support the maximum resolution of 5504x3104 for IMX400, without hacks.

Btw, the situation surely needs to be carefully examined prior even being able to say "in the future" or "never".

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

@kholk

and we currently support the maximum resolution of 5504x3104 for IMX400, without hacks.

But what about 4:3 5056x3792 (19.17MP) resolution for IMX400, without hacks (not 5504x3104)? Why it is not available?

[jerpelea]

current implementation uses 5504x3104 as max resolution

[jerpelea]

please note that we moved to a new domain https://developer.sony.com

[jerpelea]

for the moment there is no change for the camera resolution and when it will be we will comunicate it through the changelog

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

@jerpelea New binary blobs have been released for AOSP 8.0 (2018-01-12), 7.1 (2018-01-19), 8.1 (2018-01-26), but there's no word about change for the camera resolution in the changelogs. Is this issue fixed in any of these binary blobs?

[jerpelea]

as I stated in my previous comment if there will be a resolution change we will communicate it. this is not a bug!

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

@jerpelea Some "camera updates" are mentioned in the changelog for sw_binaries_for_xperia_android_8.1.6.4_r1_v12_yoshino.zip: https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/latest-updates.

Is this issue finally fixed?

[jerpelea]

the camera is set to 19mp 4:3 which results in around 17mp 16:9

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

Why 5056x3792 can't be achieved on AOSP? Could you please explain the roots of this limitation?

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

BTW, I've also found that front (selfie) camera is also affected by this issue.

[FluorescentHallucinogen]

Any news on fixing this issue?

[jerpelea]

this is not and issue and will not be fixed we have to use the 16:9 as the default camera mode to achieve higher FPS
