To capture 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), you need an image or video with approximately 8.3 megapixels. Here's the breakdown:

4K Resolution:

  • 4K resolution is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels high.

Megapixels Calculation:

3840×2160=8,294,400pixels3840 \times 2160 = 8,294,400 \, \text{pixels} 8,294,400pixels÷1,000,000(to convert to megapixels)=8.3MP8,294,400 \, \text{pixels} \div 1,000,000 \, \text{(to convert to megapixels)} = 8.3 \, \text{MP}

Summary:

  • A 4K image or video is roughly 8.3 megapixels.
  • If you want to capture 4K photos or videos, your camera or device needs to have at least 8.3 MP to achieve 4K resolution.
