Unfortunately no. I have very little info to work with. No working example and no harmattan fcam drivers source. I have filed a source code request with nokia. If I get the source maybe there will be a little hope.

hi qwazix!
what does rawcam have that FCam (for N900) doesn't?
does it correct for the vignetting? is its exposure more on the brighter side than FCam's? those two are my main issues with FCam.

note: sorry i can't be a beta tester, the N900's currently my main phone. thanks for not forgetting the N900. :)

For now, the only things that rawcam does better than fcamera is flash support (adjustable brightness and second curtain), and a simpler interface (quicker to use - more like an advanced point&shoot). On the other hand it lacks HDR and stabilization.

Keep in mind it's still the first experimental version for the N900. About the issues you mentioned, I haven't spotted them in fcamera either so I am not sure but I suppose rawcam should not be much better, as it shares some code and the drivers with fcamera.

I wasn't planning to release rawcam for the N900 as it was intended to be an equivalent to fcamera for the N9. But it got good enough, and finally has a feature that doesn't exist on fcamera, so why not give users the choice?

Porting UFRaw to the n9 would not be that hard, i think. Did a lot of porting for the n900 back in the days, and i do find it utterly relaxing, so i might try a port later, i'll let you know.

Hi, very promising app!
May i just report one suggestion and one half bug?

So the suggestion is that while manual focusing, it would be of great great help to have a magnifier that can be moved around the screen

the half bug is a sort of conflict with a package named rawcam in rzr repos.. does it happen only to me? I guess it's only for those who have unofficial repos enabled so its not really a bug, but still annoying :)

paoletto, rawcam in rzr's repository is the same application, just an older version. I think the one in the repository has a higher version number by mistake. Anyway the latest is attached here in the first post, and will be included in apps4meego when I find the time to debug why OBS refuses to build it.

hi qwazix!
a gave rawcam a try and i got some requests/suggestions ranked according to priority:
1. show a preview of the shot once the picture is taken/make the LED blink/make a shutter release "click" so that the user knows that the shot was taken. i hold my breath when i press the shutter button especially under low light, i almost died of asphyxiation! :p
2. onscreen shutter button and use the keyboard (spacebar or enter) as optional shutter button.
3. option to customize file name prefix.
thanks and good luck on the competition!

Thought against N900 version (0.0.8):

*Menu shortcut has name 'pcam', everywhere else it is 'rawcam'.

*Binary is not optified:
Code:

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root    root        445768 Sep  9 17:53 /usr/bin/rawcam
(almost ˝MB)

*fcam-drivers needed, but package doesn't depend on it.
(actually rawcam can be started without fcam-drivers, and there are no warnings)

*Starting gives:
Code:

Preloading theme "base" from cache
file:///opt/rawcam/settings.qml:110:13: Unable to create type Slider
                Slider {
                ^
file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/meego/Slider.qml:46:1: Unable to create type SliderTemplate
    SliderTemplate {
    ^
file:///usr/lib/qt4/imports/com/nokia/meego/SliderTemplate.qml:95:5: Cannot assign to non-existent property "implicitWidth"
        implicitWidth: 400
        ^

(Or do I have some silly hack installed?) I think this is the reason for settings be empty.

*If stock camera is not used, there are no directory /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM
->
Code:

FCam Error: saveJPEG: /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo_2012.09.20_11.02.33.34.jpg: Cannot open file for writing
Making thumbnail with platform WB
FCam Error: TiffFile::writeTo: /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo_2012.09.20_11.02.33.34.dng: Can't open file for writing


----
*DNG file contains 640x480 tiff preview image. Maybe showing this on mobile is enough (and not use full ufraw).

Hey

I really liked your app, in fact I love it!
This is an image i took with my N9 using your app yesterday:
https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...93877322_o.jpg

For me it is working perfectly, no compaints although i have two suggestions to it:

- It doesn't shoot in 16x9 format and as you know, N9 has a special lens for it
- The vignette is way too dark, sometimes a little too much. ;)


Keep up the good work!:)

wow! really nice picture.
I personally don't have a n9, so unfortunately I can't use it. However, by reading the app features the users impressions and pictures I really think it's a great app. Good Work! :)

EDIT: I just noticed that it's available for the n900 too. I guess I was confused because it's in the n9/50 section.:o
