loading image size greater than 512x384 using media.show()

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

No matter the image is taken using the camera(try #1), or chosen from the CameraRoll(try #2) on a 3gs, the size is always capped to 384x512 (or 512x384).

local photo\_from\_camera = nil  
  
local onCompleteHdlr = function(event)  
 photo\_from\_camera = event.target  
 print( "photo w,h,name = " .. photo\_from\_camera.width .. "," .. photo\_from\_camera.height )  
end  
  
--try #1  
media.show( media.Camera, onCompleteHdlr )   
--try #2  
media.show( media.SavedPhotosAlbum, onCompleteHdlr )   
end  
(output)   
photo\_from\_camera.width= 512  
photo\_from\_camera.height= 384

I found that it’s only getting capped either using the “iphone simulator” or on the 3gs device. It works correctly on the iphone 4 simulator(We don’t have a iphone 4 device though).

This is really annoying…is there a way to get around this auto-capping limitation? We need full control over the raw image data selected or taken.

Thanks in advance.
