It also threw CNET's photographers that the 'live preview' of manual controls that you see on the screen before taking a picture often didn't represent the actual image once it was captured. One setting is conspicuously absent for serious photographers, and that's the power to manually change the depth of field. The difference here is that surfacing them on the app's top layer makes them a lot quicker to access, set up, and change from shot to shot. Most smartphone cameras have many of these within submenus. In some cases, the 1020's creative settings are no big deal. You'll only be able to upload and share the smaller file size from the 1020 if you want all 34 or 38 megapixels, you can access the raw files through a computer connection. You won't see these choices - or any resolution options - when using the native camera app. A 4:3 aspect ratio gives you a 38-megapixel file in addition to the smaller snap. Pick a 16:9 aspect ratio, and the phone saves a 34-megapixel shot in addition to the 5-megapixel picture you eventually see and share. Making matters more confusing still, the size of the high-resolution photo you shoot depends on your camera settings.
Choose resolution and aspect ratio in the Pro Cam app settings.
