Yes, they can get in the way sometimes. They are reversed on my Samsung so when I'm editing in snapseed, the button you press to see the before/after edit state is right next to the Back action key. Times I've lost my edit and had to start again.

That 40mb thing is worrying
I think there are apps that will force the camera to stay open, but usually the screen will turn off even with the camera open in android, IF its idle.
The action buttons are a common problem, how does this differ from iphone?
Glad you are enjoying it !

The biggest annoyance in the iPhone native camera app is that any accidental sideways swipe, even a slight sliding touch when you're setting focus, will switch camera modes so that, without realizing it, you're suddenly shooting video (or some other option). I've ruined any number of shots that way, and there's no way to lock the camera mode to keep it from happening.
YES!
Yesssssssss..... I can't tell you how many videos I've shot in error.
The 40Mb works in Pro mode so maybe that’s the way to go.That 40mb thing is worrying

The iPhone doesn’t have any other buttons below or around the shutter button so it’s not a problem.
Edit: having looked at the settings again, I think it was because Master AI was on i.e. change the mode to what is appropriate for the picture. So it’s clearly changing the mode to something like Portrait which is only 10Mb and I see from your article that you can zoom in the other modes.
Also, have changed the Sleep from 30sec to 2min so I at least have time to take a second pic!

Thanks for this. Will have a read. Still feel like there’s a lot to get my head around.
Edit: ah, have already read this one but worth looking at it again after using it.
It’s only happened to me occasionally. I haven’t found it an issue.

from what I've read the consensus seems to be that its a 'photographers' phone i.e. its not designed for quick snaps on auto, you have to really get into the settings, which sounds great to me !
Well, that’s the impression I got when I first read about it but I’ve been quite impressed with the quick snaps that I have taken although now I realise they weren’t at max resolution. I mean the resolution on this is low but the detail impressive. I cropped and edited it in Snapseed.

Impressive Ann, you're selling it me now
Wow, that IS impressive.

Thanks, folks. I did get a couple of good ones on the iPhone too but it occasional blew out the whites of the swan.Wow, that IS impressive.

Its a beauty, when you say low resolution, what do you actually mean? Photo size? Megapixels?
From what I read it has 40mp but its actually designed to output at 10mp
Good question.Its a beauty, when you say low resolution, what do you actually mean? Photo size? Megapixels?

I think with the image above, it went into Portrait mode so the exif data on it says 3648x2736, 1.74Mb, which of course isn’t really low res. The exif viewers on the iPad all give different amounts
but my main one does say 1.7Mb. I cropped it significantly to 1897 x 2098, 965kb, only 3.9mp which I would normally consider low res but then it is closeup.If you shoot in Pro mode the dimensions are 7296x5472, 15Mb, double the size. The white house above was shot with these dimensions. Now if you multiply 7296x5472 it is actually 39.92 MegaPixels. I have to say I often get mixed up with Megabytes and MegaPixels but it looks to me like it does save in 40mp in Photo mode (with Master AI off) and Pro mode but not in the other modes.

I actually find this interesting for some reason. The Samsung's highest output is 4032x3024 which generally gives a file around 3mb give or take, but this varies depending on the lighting conditions, is that what happens, different scenes make the file size larger or smaller?Good question.

I'm officially confused
I guess I'd say low resolution would be a file below 1mb right?

The file size of JPGs is affected by the compression level that's set in the camera app used, so photos of the same scene, taken at the same time, with the same resolution in pixels, could have different file sizes in MBs depending on the JPG settings. Also some images will be more "compressable" than others (depending on I don't know what all -- colors, dynamic range, lighting...), so photos of different scenes taken with the same JPG settings and pixel resolution may have different file sizes.
Yes, the file sizes seem to change on the iPhone too and this phone.I actually find this interesting for some reason.

Yes, anything below 1Mb is low res in my book.
By the way the P20 Pro has .heif too.
I wonder if this video might be of interest to you Ann. It’s made by Rui Pinto, who also does iColorama tutorials (which is how I found it).
Thanks, Jilly, I’ll watch it when Tom’s not watching the cricket

Certainly the amount of detail in a picture has an effect because of jpeg compression. So this pic is 3.65mb because there are large areas with little detail and the algorithm can average out portions and chuck away some of the data.
So the blue sky, dark tarmac, black traffic light will all have allowed for quite a bit of compression.
But this pic is 5.7mb. There's so much small detail and variation there's very little opportunity for compression.
