How to make 8MP photos with Superior Auto in Xperia Z1?

Hi all
I bought the Xperia Z1 mainly for the camera, but I am not satisfied with the results. In articles like the one linked here, it states that "Sony has wisely set the Z1 to take 8-megapixel oversampled photos by default".
http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/30/4784014/sony-xperia-z1-review
Though,in superior auto my Z1 takes photos with 5248 x 3936 = 21 MP!  Could that be a reason for the poor image quality and how could I in that case change this setting without going to manual mode (there I already changed it).
Thanks in advance for your support!
Dan.

Hi again
I have now first tried clearing the data/cache, but no change. The I repaired the phone (loosing all settings done), but it is still the same. The pictures made with "Superior auto" are of 21MP and around 7MB big.
I also found a colleague that got her phone at the same time and for her it is the same, i.e. the pictures made with "Superior Auto" are of 21MP and around 7MB big. She had though thought that this is how it was supposed to be.
So the question remains. Do I need to send the phone for "repair" or is this acutally the way it should be?
Are there no other users on this forum that could clarify this?
The way I do it:
1. Start the carmera app.
2. Choose "Superior auto" if not already done
3. Take the picture
4. Open the picture with "Albums"
5. "Options" -> "Details"
6. States"Width: 5248" and "Height: 3936" (i.e. 21MP)
Is this correct or not?
Thankful for any answers!
Dan

    Hey,
    Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make a photo black and white with abit of colour like the one attached... on CS4?
    Cheers

    Haven't seen you attached file as it takes a long time for attachments to load on this forum.  Try little camera icon instead.
    EASIEST way to have B&W in areas is to add Hue and Saturation adjustment layer.  Use sliders to make B&W.  Next paint on layer MASK, with black, to restore color in areas you want to show color.

    I suppose there might be an extension, but you would be better off using a free photo editor.
    I use "IrfanView" (irfanview.com) to work with photographs.
    I use "PicPick" (picpick.org) to work from a screen print ("PrtSc") or capture to crop and annotate.
    *Also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Posting_a_screenshot_on_the_forum#Windows

    Something simpler may or may not be:
    :Picnik (picnik.com), online photo editing, fix photos, crop, resize, rotate, artsy effects, fonts, shapes.
    You also have alternatives storing the picture and./or elsewhere and providing a link
    * imageshack.com
    * dropbox.com
    If you have access to the image through Firefox, this extension looks promising

    Saving files to your desktop is not the best place.

    How to make a photo STAY in the assets panel for future use for In browser editing?
    When I delete a photo from a page, it does not stay in the assets panel. My client uses in browser editing daily. Once a week he changes a photo just for a day, then needs the previous photo to replace it. The original photo is not in the asset panel (or folder) for him to choose.
    When you upload a photo, it has an arrow in the asset panel. How do you use this as an asset?

    Sure ... right mouse click on  your page and choose 'Exclude Page from Menus' :-)

  • How to make text columns with adobe muse

    Hi,How to make text columns with adobe muse (like InDesign)?

    Multiple columns can be acheived with CSS - http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_multiple_columns.asp
    div
    -moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
    -webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
    column-count:3;
    I'm surprised that Muse does not support text columns yet, but perhaps the custom CSS can be added in style tags on page properties. Haven't tried it, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

    Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html  since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

    How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
    I wrote this, but it does not work:
    btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
    getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
    }

    I am guessing you put that on a frame?
    If so, the syntax is as follows:
    btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
    the syntax is:
    on(release){
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
    }

    I want to make a dvd menu in iMovie because i don't have IDVD and can't find anywhere to download it?
    For making DVDs I would recommend iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 both readily available on Amazon or eBay.  Shop for iLife 06 and iLife 09.
    You can make menus and chapters with any version of iMovie except the latest one. There's nothing wrong with iMovie 11 either but I prefer iMovie 06.
    By using iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 I make DVDs with professional moving menus with very little effort. They look almost as good as Hollywood.

    You only need to use the source code to implant these shows there where you want. In my eyes it would be the best that you use first a very new and blank DW file to perform (maybe in LiveView) the one or the other.

    2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
    In a Pictures folder
    Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
    In a Movie Folder
    Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste 
    and do this for all 700 files
    This Bash script will do it.
    Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
    (Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)

    PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
