Yes, I guess in this case it’s a matter of semantics since when you go to Settings > Camera you are actually not opening the camera app but the Settings app. When you said “I was opening the Camera from the Home Screen icon instead of opening the Camera app” I was a bit confused and I thought you meant the camera button on the lock screen and the camera icon on the home screen which is the same whereas adjusting camera related options in the Settings app is altogether a different story. I get this all the time at my retail store, we sell outdoor and hunting equipment including firearms and ammunition as well as reloading supplies. We often get people who call and they ask “do you have bullets for a 30 odd 6” or whatever caliber they have. I know that many more people buy factory loaded ammunition and not reloading components such as powder, bullets, brass and primers, but usually I then ask if they are looking for ammunition or bullets and some people get all mad because they think I’m trying to be smart whereas all I want to do is make sure I give them the correct information.

I only get this when I open the Camera app in Settings. I used Windows to try and view the .HEIc picture and didn't even check it with Windows 11. Thank you for checking it in Windows 11 and verifying that Win11 will open a picture in .HEIC format, and convert it. Take care. Mike.

As far as HEIC formatted images are concerned, they open just fine for me on my Windows 11 laptop in the Photos app. It used to be you had to download the HEVC Video Extension from the Microsoft Store and maybe I have done this and don’t remember or maybe in Windows 11 Version 23H2 this is already included in the Photos app, but I did just try this and it worked and then in Photos if you wanted to convert to JPG, you can either press tab or shift + tab until you get to the “More app bar Button” and after activateing it select “Save As” or press Control + S and the Save As dialogue comes up. In the list of formats you can then select JPG and save your file with whatever name you want. When I just tried this the picture in HEIC format I sent from my iPhone to Dropbox was 2093 Kb and the JPG was 2348 Kb, not a huge size difference, but more than 10% larger.

My wife took a couple of pictures and sent to them to me to upload, but when I received them they were, .HEIC format, and I had to download a program to my PC to change the format to, .JPEG, before they seen on my PC. So, how do we change the default photo format back to .JPEG? I don't know when the format switched to this .HEIC format, but I do not like it at all. I opened the camera and didn't find the old format option. Does anyone know how we can switch back to the .JPEG format? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike.
