Hi all, I recently posted this in the forums, where it was suggested that I ask 
my questions here.  Sorry if this is a duplicate for someone.

I'm building an iOS camera app and need the viewfinder/preview frames in 
c++-land. I also need full-resolution still images when a capture button is 
pressed.

I can subclass QAbstractSurface and use QCamera::setViewfinder() to get frames. 
The problem is that the frames I get for the preview are the same resolution as 
the still images. I'm testing on an iPhone 5, so I either get 3264 or 1920, 
let's say 3k or 2k.

I'm using QCamera and QCameraImageCapture in c++ code.

If I use QCameraImageCapture::setEncodingSettings with 3k and 
QCamera::setViewfinderSettings with 2k, I get 3k preview frames and 3k still 
images.

I would have thought that the viewfinder api affects the viewfinder resolution 
and the camera image capture affects a separate still image capture resolution. 
But this is not the behavior I'm seeing.

Each of these classes are documented in the doxygen sense, but intended usage 
and how they work together is not.  The closest I can find is the detailed 
description of QCameraImageCapture, which provides a nice code snippet, but… 
resolution problems.

Pretty much all smartphones and digital cameras show a lower-resolution preview 
and capture stills at a higher resolution.

My question is how to achieve this with iOS? What should work? How do I get 2k 
preview frames in c++ and 3k still captures?

I’ve looked at the example apps.  They work on iOS in the sense that they don't 
crash, but they exhibit the same behavior with previews and stills at the same 
resolution. 

I’m currently working with 5.7 and 5.8 beta, but honestly I’ve had problems 
with the camera apis for years now.  On Android I hacked something that worked 
with QVideoProbe, but only for Android.  On iOS I gave up and went native.  
Never found a solution that worked for more than one platform.


Any help would be most appreciated!

Tyler
