My picture file size shrunk

[reapster3]

I've had this phone for about a month now with windows 10 installed. I decided to install a SD card and have my pictures saved to the card instead of the phones memory. In doing so the file size of my pictures shrunk from 2-4mp's to approx. 160kb in size. Also, I'm not able to zoom in by sliding my fingers apart. Finding this a bit weird I took out the sd card and changed the default storage setting back to the phone. But still every picture I take is about 160kbs in size. I know there is no resolution setting on the windows camera other than 16.9 or 4.3. I now I get a "choose the best setting" message with every picture I take since this started to happen. Normally I wouldn't complain about a smaller file for pictures but without a logical reason to explain why I'm a bit puzzled. Also I don't like the idea of not being able to zoom in and out of a photo. Anyone have a explanation?

Are living images on?

Yes, the same happening to me.

So the pictures are now 1280x720 px? Could be that rich capture somehow saves only preview image, not whole picture (processed image + exposures).

I have also seen that happen. If living image and rich capture are both off, then full images should be saved. For either I think internal memory would be the best option + keep background processing for camera and photos on.

To get image size back to normal - does setting rich capture to off help?
