Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Hi guys, I tried using the raw feature, but the dng files all seem messed up somehow. Am i doing something wrong or is this a known issue?
And another question: is there a way to improve the JPEG quality setting for the camera without having to install patches etc.? (just gconf or something like that)

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

What are symptoms of Your RAW captures being "messed up"?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

They look like this, in the Gimp and in Raw Image viewer...
Thanks! :)

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Erm, could You also post corresponding .jpg image (it should save both .jpg and raw) for comparison? I suspect, that there should be only one tree, but...

You can set gstreamer to use a software jpeg encoder and set the 'compression quality' to whatever level you want. Just edit /etc/gdigicam/something.conf

FWIW bro master deluxe - freemangordon has bumped the quality setting of the DSP jpeg encoder to 100. Thus, if you have 720p recording enabled, you will get it when the next version of libgstdsp is released. (just tremember to set you gdigicam conf back!)

Hi Estel. There are multiple trees, but things that appear once on the jpeg can be found numerous times on raw.. :p

jpeg:

raw:
Attachment 25295

Thanks! :)

My guess would be that your X value is off when loading the raw. (Consider your raw is showing 3:4 proportions where your jpg is not. Double check you X number and that should fix it.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

After thinking about Woodys comment, i tried taking a picture with a 4:3 resolution: The RAW images taken that way are correct, so I think Woody is right here. Still, where can i find that X value?
Thanks!

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Hi all,

I thought I'll join in the camera-ui2 thread.

I've been loving it, especially with all the keyboard shortcuts, very useful.

I got one question. I noticed the loading time (or standby time) is quite long now.

I have two N900s, one is using camera-ui2 (CSSU testing), one is plain old 21.2011.38-1. On CSSU, the time it takes from opening the camera lid to I see the camera output on the screen is about 3-4 seconds. The 21.2011.38-1 takes about 1 second, and sometimes less.

Anyone has any idea why it is slower? Or perhaps is there anyway I could debug this?

Thanks!

IIRC, it's stopping the tracker, check previous posts.
You can try profiling it with these tools: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...o5#Performance

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Hey guys,
I'm still wondering about a couple of things here.
First, the RAW images look right with 4:3 resolution, but the appear to be just 640:480, which cant be right (the JPEGs are much, much bigger)

Second, I've been searching in the gdigicam.conf file, and found the values vi_ described. I wanted to change them, but i cant find a manual or anything about that. also, when changing gdigicam.conf, the standard DSPencoder wont use the jpg quality setting (seen that on the forum here), and i cant seem to find FreemanGordons version. Where can i find that?
Thanks!

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

If you take a raw pic at full scale as jpg, it should be the same size X wise as the raw. Take a raw pic and save to jpg, look at it's details, then take another raw as raw and use that X. Should work? Raw may add a few pixels to each side as well (black framing pixels). So you may need to add a few for that as well, as most processing systems will chop those off. Smarter systems use those black areas to adjust for or detect noise levels in the raw image.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Thanks.

Now I see them in /usr/bin/camera-ui-set-priorty

I tried to comment them all out to see the effect. But then I notice that script isn't run when the camera lid is opened or closed. Is it not what I think it is? It seems to get run when I kill the camera-ui process.

Guess I will have to do some debugging and tracing and see that goes.

Thanks again.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

The video capture pipeline is reinitialized on every lid opening, otherwise the first captured video is 4-8 fps lower than next ones.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Are you saying that the old camera-ui or old N900 system was not doing that?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

if by "old" you meant "stock" - how I am supposed to know that, stock camera-ui is closed source so I have NFC what it is doing behind the UI.

In other words - I said what I said.

EDIT:
BTW /usr/bin/camera-ui-set-priorty is run when you start/stop video recording, it pauses/resumes tracker accordingly.

Hello

After installing kp50, the high res video options no longer work. any workaround?

Thanks

hello guys . can anyone give me the link to download the latest version of (camera-ui)

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Its included in the latest CSSU.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

thnx alot . Where to download latest version of cssu? :o coz I'm kinda new :o

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Go with your N900 Here

click on "testing". the red icon

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

thnx alot for your help
wanna ask you that is it better for me "as new user" of n900 to use stable and then move to testing one
or what?:confused::confused:

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

I recommended "testing" because you want the cameraUI2 as well.

cameraUI2 is NOT included in the "Stable" flavor, yet.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

thnx for your advice!:)

hmm . so can I understand that "testing" version is kinda safe and unlikely to brick the device nor to result in damage to the OS ???

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Yeah, it's super safe.
Give it a go.

thnx so much for your help. but i'm facing a problem mentioned here

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

i have cssu stable, how can i "update" to cssu testing?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

I think I noticed a small regression compared to stock camera-ui:

If you take a photo but still hold the camera button in the autofocus position, it should keep the current focus instead of resetting it, allowing you to take several macro pictures without having to refocus.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

No, I just tested the stock camera-ui and the focus always resets
after taking a picture.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Nicolai,
I know this request was put in a while back, but since it's still not in. :)

Would it be possible to change the app so it remembers the state for GPS enable (or so there's an option for it to remember)? Right now after any reboot it forgets that GPS tagging was requested before and the default is to not do tagging. :(

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Strange, I was sure of that (that's the second time I'm wrong about the original features of camera-ui :o , maybe I had a special closed camera-ui before :D )

Consider it as a feature request, if you think it would be useful.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Dirty workaround for now would be to use on-screen button for taking photo. Yet, I agree, that having possibility to do burst of photos via hardware button - without changing focus - if not 'letting go'' a half-press would be great.

I just wonder, if it's possible mechanically - after full-press, a half-press state isn't recognized exactly the same way as half-press from no-press state?

I have problem with the capture button icon. can anyone helps me please !!!
sorry i cant post picture so i post a link

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

I have no problem with that button, but i am using default theme on my phone. So, maybe the icon package you are usign lacks that picture.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

I have returned to default theme but still have that problem. Can you share that picture or give me full name of it! Thank you :)

as u can c from the first photo there is good light but yet still flash light triggers when i take photo..sometimes it over whitens the photo.. can anyone help me with this..???

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

not sure if this has been mentioned before but i may have found a bug.

what i have installed:
cssu camera
blessn900
camera lens launcher

camera lens launcher is set to pop up list (default camera, flashlight, and blessn900) when lens is opened.

here's how to reproduce the bug.

open camera lens, select default camera, then exit camera. while in the task switcher, open the camera again by pressing the hw camera button halway, it will open the camera. if it opens in full screen, tap on the screen to show the task switcher button. it will show 2 camera-ui windows with opens lens advise.

it might be because of camera lens launcher? actually camera-ui has been acting up lately, mainly by being slow in terms of start up.

image attached. tia!

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

have you tried on stock maemo?
have you tried taking a second photo without in between closing camera app?
I can't reproduce the issue with an absolutely clean PR1.3, but I'm sure there's been this "always flashes on first photo taken" problem. Maybe related to fcam(?) drivers

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 09. May)
 

Actually it depends on the light conditions, i.e. when it is dark, camera driver (or whoever) turns the flash on, and that is used for focusing
