Sorry in advanced if I don't understand what I'm asking and it turns out I'm saying gobbly gook. So my understanding is that on my Pizel 8a I've got a 64mp quad bayer camera, that being four sensors of the same color grouped together basically acting as one pixel (good for low light, and looks better on marketing than 16mp camera with bigger individual sensors). I know some phone manufactures like Apple and Samsung let you get the data from each sensor as an individual pixel - which if I understand is bad for low light and definitly not the equivelent of a DLSR that mp level + requires some sort of color interpilation - but could still lead to a clearer photo in some circumstances. From what I've seen online some people are saying that it's done at the hardware level and inaccessible via software, but the cameras 2x digital zoom can still output at the same 16.1mp so I assume that it can access the individual sensors if it's cutting out 75% of the resolution and still giving the same resolution. So maybe it's at the firmware level or something and it can be accessed if you ask nicely?
So yeah, would it be possible to get a 64mp output, either as just a 64mp image or as somethign that's closer to truely raw output instead of the somewhat processed .dng files that is outputed by most camera apps?
