Could I take photos directly from touch screen?
 
Hi, guys, I dropped my n900 several days ago, and today i found some problems with the camera button. It only works when i click it hardly. I wonder if there's any app on n900 which i can take picture directly from touch screen (just like iPhone does), so that i can avoid using the 'injured' camera button? Thank you so much !!

Well, Morpho Quick Panorama uses touchscreen interface only, but that way you'll only be able to make low-res panoramas...

Thank you so much for your information. I'll try out Quick Panorama to see if it is ok for use. Besides, is there any other way to take high resolution pictures by touch screen only?

maybe "Knips" application? Never tried it myself though...

there is a way to take a picture with the command line... let me find my bookmark

also, i think that there are efforts to make the python script for video focus an alternative solution for camera photo buttons

I've tried Knips, but this doesn't work well. I couldn't find quick panorama. Could anyone tell me where i can download this app? and is there any other alternatives? Thank you in advance.

synchronicity is a wonderful thing ... thanks to m2cm2c, you can now use the lfocus app to do whay you want - install the latest version and you can then use the on screen timer to set up a timed photo - he's toughtfully included a "0 second" delay as an option, which will make the camera take a snap immediately. See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46427&page=17 for the new feature (and the 1st post in that thread for the download).

QuickPanorama is also a great little app ... but no use for taking proper photo's :-)

ah - just realised the flaw in my cunning plan ... to get to the timer on-screen menu, you need to use the camera hardware button (double "half-click") - you said your button only works "if you click it hardly" - that is a bit unclear but sounds like you may have trouble doing the "half-click" action (the one which normally is used to focus before taking the picture).

If so, you could still ask the developer if he can provide a fully touchscreen activated method of selecting the timer function though? sorry for the bum steer :-(

hi,
seems to me like you are using an older release, please download the latest version here , and read through the instructions on how to use the widget which are located at the top of the thread.
