Feature description

In the same way the video camera has options to select from SD, HD, FHD, and UHD, the photo camera should have the option to shoot at different resolutions.

Why do you want this feature?

Phone manufacturers continue to increase camera resolution leading to larger and larger file sizes on average with each generation. The use case for these resolutions becomes smaller and smaller however and just leads to large file sizes for mundane situations like: food bill, package label, food, objects, etc.

Open Camera (still developed at Sourceforge) supports changing the camera resolution. Modern phones seem to default to 12 megapixels (I'm uncertain if third-party camera apps have access to the native resolution).

I recommend using an app such ass OSS Document Scanner for whitepaper-like documents (or edit the pictures yourself).
