Zoom not Working at Max Resolution

[Guest JMOLINA1368]

My HTC S710 would not zoom in or out at 2 Meg Res. It this normal or its a bug?

The zoom works at lower resolution settings but not at Max.

Thanks,

Hi, yes it's normal.

Most of the windows mobile smartphones and ppc's i've used had that limitation.

Thanks for the info, however the HTC S620 did zoom at max res. so I don think its suppose to work that way.

Regards.

It makes sense tho right?

If you zoom at max res, bearing in mind there is no optical zoom, all it's doing is enlarging the image and losing quality.

At less than max res, then zoom can actually work without reducing quality.

yeah, the C600 works the same way.

Far better to take the pic, and reduce/zoom using something like Photoshop. You'll get a much better result than letting the phone do it.

That's always something smart phones have lacked. The Sony phone I used had an amazing camera! I just took some video for the first time on the E650 and I must say I'm very disappointed!

I know that Smart phones aren't designed to be mobile walkmans and digital cameras, but the technology is easily available to have fitted and its always better to have! The new Nokia phone for example, which I believe is supposed to be a smart phone competitor has a 5 Mega pixel camera! So there really is no excuse.
