I haven't come across any method to make the camera save the file as PNG.

But you could convert the JPEG Image into PNG format.

try {
       FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(filename);
       bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, out); //100-best quality
       out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
}

Note, this won't enhance the quality. You cannot "increase" the information in an image. This will only change the Image Format.
