Odd. The package is in the extras-testing repository, so you should at least have that enabled, and updated/refreshed. If you have all that set up, you should be able to download it pretty easily...

got extra-settings enabled fcamera it's showing in application manager right under the drivers for fcam. still no joy :(

I'm afraid I can't help much, unless you want to drop to a shell and (as root) run something like:

apt-get install --reinstall fcamera fcam-drivers

Am I the only one that sees this as an actually good thing? I mean, they just added an API that could be tapped by this community to make even better apps surrounding the camera.

It's not a huge announcement, but given some time, I'm sure some cool stuff can be done. There's already one app (in my mind) that could benefit from this - the excellent retro camera app "Classic Cam" could do some even more killer stuff and probably up the processing time.

This is a developers phone, so this is a development that shows that Nokia hasn't fully abandoned it yet.

Just wish it was MeeGo indeed. But they said "exciting" news... not epic.

you can locate via the File Manager, but as i mentioned above i dont think we have anything that views the digital negative format it saves to.

thanks. I found them where you said with file manager. I had to copy them to my laptop and open them with photoshop though. The RAW image viewer app from extras doesn't seem to be able to handle the photos but they look good in photoshop

Tap and slide down from the main fcamera screen, and you can set the application to save as JPEG in the standard gallery location too!

...ok - nice move Nokia; I hope Titans kernel will be able to handle this app soon - I want to have the extra power he gave us soon to be able to take DNG RAW out of this device.

This thread is responsible for the heightened expectations, not Nokia.

No one blamed Nokia :rolleyes:
Oh and I was talking about me :o
