camera doing none standard image format

[jeyf]

by default iOS is capturing your iPhone images in heic format instead of the more common JPEG. to switch back to the proper more accepted JPEG format do Settings -> Camera -> Formats -> Most Compatible.

do what you want, bet the heic format works well in the apple lab but will not help you if the web site your up loading to only accepts jpeg.

First: of course HEIC is a standard. Second: if you use the Share-option on your iPhone, iOS will automatically convert HEIC to JPEG.

what you additionally should know about HEIC, but never dared to ask 😎:

HEIC vs JPG: File Size​

The file size of the HEIC format is smaller than JPG. The images capture and saved with HEIC file format take less storage space as compared to the JPG file format. In fact, HEIC file size is half the size of JPEG file and that’s why HEIC is better than JPEG when it comes to filing size.

HEIC vs JPG: Quality​

Another major difference is that the HEIC file has better image quality as compared to the JPG file as the new file format can preserve details of the image.

​

HEIC vs JPG: Content​

HEIC format can hold multiple images in one file, such as live photos, animations sequence, and burst-photo shots. On the other hand, the JPG format can hold only one image in one file. So, without any doubt, HEIC is more flexible than JPG.

HEIC vs JPG: Functions​

HEIC file format uses 16-bit deep color, and on the other hand, the JPEG file format uses only 8-bit. So, devices that fully support HEIC new file format can capture a wide array of colors. Moreover, you can modify HEIC images more easily, such as apply changes on numerous layers, like the middle ground, background, and foreground. In addition to it, you can crop and rotate your HEIC images without saving or altering them for a second time. Thus, HEIC is truly good when it comes to editing photos.

Well, to paraphrase Frasier: jeyf, at Cornell University they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the tunneling electron microscope. Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons you can actually see images of the atom, the infinitesimally minute building blocks of our universe. jeyf, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your opinion that HEIC is “stupid”. Thank you for your call.

You know your stuff lol 👍 Good read for me too. I just googled Tunneling Electron Microscope and thats some powerful microscope...

i bet the mighty heic format works well in the apple lab.
actual web sites still like to see jpeg

taking a pic of a furnice name plate; its an extra level of funble i must go throuogh... next

hiec = junk

Im not gonna start a debate with you but a quick google search proved that HEIC is indeed better than JPEG. Less space required but the same quality. But it goes back again to ones personal preferance. I prefer diesel cars rather than petrol because petrol cars have trash for torque. But thats just my personal preference.
