IPhone, using Qfield camera app

Ask the Community
1

I can use ‘Native Camera’ within the app, although this (iPhone 16) produces 20MB images.

When I disable this, and use the Qfield camera application, on landscape mode, the image is upside down!

I’d rather use the QField camera solution, as this provides upto 5MB images.

I don’t want to fill my storage with 20MB images, however don’t see a solution.

Any one else got this?

Thanks, E

@EndamclTE , if you are setting up your projects in QGIS, you can cap the file size by using the max. width / height (in pixel) of image attachments here:

We’re trying to work out a solution on rotated images on iOS. It’s a problem with Qt that impacts this platform more than others.

Question: if we had the ability to rotate a photo (90 / 180 / 270 degrees) within our image sketcher, would that be a solution for you? You’d manually need to rotate images that are not properly orientated by that would all be done within QField while in the field.

Thanks Mathieu. That’s very useful, and will take a look at the image settings.

At the moment, images are mostly retained as a log/record, and are not often needed in reports. If I do use them, I’m rotating them via Windows. Having a solution via the app may be more time efficient, so would be keen to try that out.

Thanks
