Why cant i take a 4k pic with my phone

[Overclock Gamer]

I wonder why i cant take a 4k pic with my phone . i am able to recording a 4k and 1080p  video with my phone but i cant capture a 4k and 1080p pic with my phone . is there a way to take a 4k pic with my phone

ermm...most phones take photos at a higher resolution than 4k..

Id oes not say 4k because it works like this:

 

1k=1080p=1920x1080 pixels =2.073.600 pixels = "2 Megapixel Camera"

Every phone has cameras with much more Megapixels. So your phone will have a photo resolution way over 4k although in an other aspect ratio

So this means  if i take a pic at 16megapixels i have taken a 5k pic base on the reosultion 5312 × 2988

roughly yes. Simply chose the highest MP number and you're fine. Also a 16:9 aspect ratio is pretty standard and will look good on most screens

to make it clearer. they way the image is taken and process is different then a dslr. i have both a camera  on my phone and my dslr . the size difference is massive on the dslr.

so its kind of 4k on a phone.

Well, not exactly.

 

While the methods of post-processing can differ between a phone and an actual interchangeable lens camera, the concept of JPEG processing (take the RAW image data, apply necessary adjustments and compress the file to a much smaller size in a lossy format) is much the same.

 

4K is a tag used to describe the resolution of 3840x2160, which is roughly 8.3MP. Most phones and cameras made in recent memory far exceed that figure.

true. but file size and picture data sizes blow a cell cam .out of the water.  much more data to work with.
