Camera auto mode 10 MP?

Just noticed that shots taken in auto mode are defaulting to 10mp as against 13mp on manual. However, looking back at some early shots I took a few weeks ago, these were all at 13mp.

Can't see any way of changing this in settings, has anyone else got the same behaviour?

Just realised that this is the 'full screen mode' that I must have enabled.
With this on, it maxes to 10mp.

This is normal behaviour for any camera. 

 

The sensor is 4:3 ratio 13MP.  

If you set the camera to 16:9 or 'fullscreen' mode, it willwill have to crop the image and  bin the excess top and bottom pixels, hence 10MP.

Without fullscreen the photos are on 13mp?



Yes, 13mp now.
One of the updates must have set it to full screen which is interesting as out of the box it was set to 4:3.
Also, if you click 'camera defaults' under settings it will set it back to full screen mode as well.
