I'm happy enough with this phone (except that it is rather large ), and I am up on it's limitations, it being a "budget" machine. However, I don't know how to:

1) Set the camera to take 48Mpx images - the best I can get is 12 Mpx, and

2) After importing the pics into Win 10, why do they not as image thumbnails - only as general Faststone icons? (This is the 1st time for any camera.)

Thanks,

1) I had to reset the App Preferences.

2) Something Nokia has not implemented well.

You say Windows does not show thumbnails of the image.

What is the format of the image? jpeg, dng /?/?

Can you post the image?

Thanks, Antioch.

They are mainly jpg images, and a few dng as well. I haven't got a specific image, but below is a screen print of the DCIM/Camera folder alongside the Win10 folder with the same images. Sure, the dng files never show thumbnails, but I hardly ever use them.

WIN 10 does NOT display thumbnails in phone folder...

PS: I'll be sending the same image to Nokia since I discussed it with them as well.

Present win 10 will show everything as thumbnails (raw, dng, jpg, tiff, png etc), but may or may even open in Photos some of them but not all of them.

On your image, on the right side, the thumbnails does not show image of dng, but shows jpg image of the dng file. On mine it shows thumbnail image of both after downloading it to my Pictures Directory of Windows 10. (This view is of your Windows Hard Disk).

On the image of the left side is the view of Nokia Phone Camera Directory and here you cannot see images of either dng or jpg and further they call it faststone???.

Maybe you need to tweak windows thumbnails default file options?

(I tried to send a dng but dpreview would not allow such 48 meg file, says "file forbidden".

On my nokia, dng is 48 meg and jpg is 8 to 12 meg.

This link gives four nokia jpg images, you can download them if you wish and see is they show up on your thumbnails?

You can also google for how to change thumbnails views in windows 10.

How to show images in thumbnail Windows 10?
Bonus tip

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Click on the View tab.
3. Click Options to open Folder Options.
4. Click on the View tab.
5. Make sure to clear the check mark for the Always show icons, never thumbnails option.
6. Click Apply.
7. Click OK to complete the task.

Thanks for both replies. Yes, I know about the settings in the File Expl View options and it's set as you say. If I download your images they will show as thumbnails because they're not from the phone folder.

In the meantime, after combing lots of on-linery, I found from the MS forums that this is a problem with late versions of Android. Here is the [very long] thread:

I've had Open Camera installed for a long time, and it's also in this new Nokia 50G, BUT it doesn't access the 48Mpx camera and it doesn't save in DNG format

So I suppose I'll only use the native app for those two situations and make Open Cam the main app.

This is indeed odd, since Nokia was purchased by Microsoft and they made Nokia Windows Phones, which means that they should have flawless integration with windows. But Microsoft eventually sold off Nokia. Based on what you say, Nokia needs to update so that Win OS can show the images to Nokia Folder.

I wonder if this happens to other brands as well, I was planning on getting a Sony which is only 12 Mpx compared to many others upto 100 mpx files.

Good Luck.

Yes, it does. That link mentions a few other brands (but you've got to dig a bit). It basically said (as I understand it) that it's an Andriod issue.
