Re: A Better Camera
 
Blessn900 has no time lapse capabilities. There is however a (beta?) of an fcamera derived app called "Timelapse". Not finished according to the devs initial goals and instead development lapsed (excuse the pun)....

You could try to contact the developers directly through their web presence: http://www.almalence.com/contact.html

Thanks for your work

I have a sort of a problem but at least this is not too dramatic :)
I have reflashed the firmware of my N900. After that and reinstalling everything, I probably did something particular because when using the deb file of the 0.49 version, I see:
Code:
dpkg -i abettercamera_0.49.deb
(Reading database ... 53324 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace abettercamera 0.49-1 (using abettercamera_0.49.deb) ...

ERROR: Module bc_cat does not exist in /proc/modules
dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: ... it looks like that went OK.

Setting up abettercamera (0.49-1) ...
insmod: error inserting '/opt/abettercamera/bc_cat.ko': -1 Invalid module format

Checking for fcam drivers
No fcam drivers found
Installing bundled version of fcam drivers
Please read and acknowledge the important notice displayed on the N900's screen
I fear that I am not getting hw acceleration? But otherwise, the software seems to work which is good!
I can see someone else had posted the same issue here (@9000) but not sure that the solution has been posted or exists?
I did try with and without fcam-drivers installed. I did reboot several times. But I have no clue how to deal with that :confused:

Another problem is that I cannot reinstall from ovi because asking to pay again :mad: and not only ABC but also a whole list of software I paid (I could download only one).
But this is another problem and I contacted nokia support about that... hoping that a solution exists!

EDIT: I forgot to add that I cannot remove the application anymore. Because obviously that could have been a good idea to remove and then reinstall but nothing works : apt-get remove or apt-get purge.

EXIF tags STILL don't work! If I take a an exposure bracketed burst of photos then look at the EXIF data, they ALL show 8.9 as the EV. WTF?

I took a range of 5 photos using exposure bracketing in steps of +2 EV. When I check the EXIF data, they ALL show this:

Code:
EXIF tags in './20110409_020.jpg' ('Intel' byte order):
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
Tag                |Value
--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
Image Width        |2592

ISO Speed Ratings  |100
Shutter speed      |8.90 EV (1/477 sec.)

--------------------+----------------------------------------------------------
This is pointless, the EXIF MUST contain the exposure or there is no point in having an exposure bracketing function!!!!!

Please excuse me for offtop, but how did you get a *.deb from the app, that you bought in ovi store? I find this issue very important for me, since i have bought stuff from ovi and i do reflash from time to time.

Re: A Better Camera
 
@alfred
I believe I saw some tutorial in internet to have access to the temporary .deb that is downloaded through Ovi (never tried myself). But in this particular case, this is thanks to the very helpful Eugene :)

Hello
I purchased this program from OVI, the program working well, but I don't see the option to switch to the video mode...
It's not included in this app ?
Thanks

Yes, there is no option to switch to video mode.

Re: A Better Camera
 
i would cheerfully purchase this app if the bloody useless Ovi store would accept any of my cards.

i use blessn900 as much as i can and like it, and would really appreciate the extra features and speed if i could only buy the dsmn thing!!

check this out... HDR photos of Jaguar taken using BlessN900.... awesome.

Have you found a solution? I can't remove it either, or boot the app. Whenever I start it asks me that the app needs a reboot :(

Re: A Better Camera
 
I'm also getting the error that the kernel module is invalid. Might it have something to do something with kernel-power?

Re: A Better Camera
 
Has anyone gotten the HW acceleration working with kernel-power?

@Eugene Panich:
I have read an interesting article on the use of golden ratio in the composition of photographic images. The article is in http://www.digital-photography-schoo...ds-on-steroids

Could it be possible to overlay the golden-ratio-based grids or spirals on the ABC or blessn900 viewfinder, as an aid to image composition? Thanks

Here are the examples:

Re: A Better Camera
 
There must be a "rmmod bc_cat" line in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/abettercamera.prerm script. Either edit the script to remove that line or modprobe the bc_cat module so rmmod has something to remove when asked.

Re: A Better Camera
 
Thank you very much, this helped!
I deleted it because I have a problem when saving photos. Constantly "IMAGE IN PROGRESS".
Just tried to take pictures through the BlessN900 - all good! And after "abattercamera" constantly trying to save. I waited 20 minutes, nothing has happened...
Only I have this problem?

Are you using a version of Power Kernel and if so, which?

nick_stokes 2012-04-21 14:42
Re: A Better Camera
 
kernel-power-50, last )

In that case I'd like to direct you towards this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=949

There is a reported incompatibility between the latest kernel-powers and A Better Camera. (Incidentally, BlessN900 doesn't have the same problem.)

You can either manually replace the files according to the post I linked, or perhaps try to uninstall A Better Camera (that's difficult, because the creators of ABC were sloppy enough not to include a 100% working uninstallation process) and install BlessN900 instead.
