I just purchased the s2 Ultra.  I'm setting the camera up primarily for photos, not video.  I'm a semi-pro shooter and digital artist.  I will be shooting ONLY RAW images.  I have the Expert RAW app installed.

I'm testing the features of the lab.  The virtual aperture and ND features will be used often for my work, however, every time I try to use the 50m resolution, these features turn OFF and the camera goes back to the lowest 12m resolution.

Is this correct?  I can only use expert features and set my aperture if I capture a 12m images?  Sort of defeats the purpose of a 200, 50 and 24m camera for a pro if you can't use the pro features accept with a 12m image.  

I've watch 10 or more videos on YouTube and can't seem to find the answer.  

Thanks in advance for your response.

      Have you checked for an update to for app. I don't have any issues with the 50mp setting at all. When I check shots it is 50mp

      Yes the s26 ultra. I have the latest software . The 50m works fine it's the lab features like virtual aperture and ND that drop it to 12m.

      So.. no responses yet,  Anyone?  Must I shoot in only 12m if I want to use the virtual aperture or ND filter or other pro features in the Expert Raw LAB features?    gptChat said that only the astro features require the 12m but my phone defaults me back to 12m for ALL the LAB features?  Are those using virtual aperture getting the  same experience or can you shoot in 24m or 50m with the virtual aperture.   Should I return this phone as defective?

      Im on an s25 ultra but it does seem that the features under the beaker icon do not allow you to go above a 12 mp resolution. Could be that because its experimental that they arent doing that yet and may update later as more testing is done. Im not camera expert or photography pro by any means so the terms are foreign to me but this is what I've seen myself.
