SENSOR SIZE AND RESOLUTION
Hello everybody!
Can anyone explain how it works when a camera has an 8 mpix sensor and its owner decides to take a 1280x960 photo. In this case does the sensor use all the 8 million pixels to create a smaller photo or does it use only 1,22 pixels and which ones (from the center of the sensor? Regards! Wlady :) |

My camera Panasonic LX1 takes the pictures at a reduced resolution by cropping the pixels. Only the centre of the sensor is used to capture a picture. And, by the way, this also allows to increase the optical zoom of the camera. |
