905427 - Camera should be able to take photos at maximum sensor capabilities

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 900399

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130730113002

Steps to reproduce:

Take a photo from the camera app.
Connect the phone to the computer and find the image recently taken.
(Maybe you'd need to enable USB disk option from Settings)
Check the resolution of the saved image.


Actual results:

The image is taken at a minor resolution (1600x1200, roughly 2MP) than the maximum capable according to the cellphone manufacturer (for example, Keon [3MP], Peak [8MP]).


Expected results:

The camera app should query the system for the maximum size supported by the cellphone's lens and save the image at that resolution, instead of assuming a possible size for all FXOS phones.

In my case, it should be possible to save all images at a resolution equal to 3MP photos.

Keep in mind that on devices with less available memory (e.g. unagi) the larger image sizes may cause OoM issues.
