How many megapixels?
I just got a Polaroid CAA-03040S: Digital Video Camera. It says 3mp stills but i can go into options and select resolution. The options are 1M, 3M and 5M is that megapixels or what? If so does that mean it can take 5mp stills?
Thanks.
Those are settings that only take effect when you’re shooting still images and YES, those ARE megapixel settings (not megabytes). Your camera has a 3-megapixel sensor, this is its native (actual) resolution. The 5M option is interpolated (fake), meaning that the camera still captures the 3mp image but then digitally upsizes it internally so that it equals the dimensions that a 5mp pic would normally have. Same goes for the 1M setting except your images get downsized in the camera (saves card space but the result would be virtually useless except for emailing pics to other people).
Interpolation decreases image quality, moreso when it’s performed in-camera (such as yours) than when doing it in a good image editing application. For the best possible still-image quality from this type of camera, keep it at its native 3mp resolution. Hope that doesn’t confuse you
