Camera settings problem
 

Hello.
What to know if someone else got his problem.
If I combinde Exposure +0.5, +1, +1.5 and +2 with any ISO 100, 200 and 400 the pictures get totaly black.
But Minus Exposure works fine.
Also if I force flash on it works.
And if I set ISO to Auto it also works fine.

conclusion:
Plus Exposure combined with Manual ISO does not work.
Plus Exposure combined with Manual ISO and Flash Always On works.
Minus Exposure combined with Manual ISO does work.
Plus Exposure combined with any other setting works.

This happend since PR 1.2, anyone else got this problem?

Re: Camera settings problem
 

tried the settings you mentioned and got the same results. but, i don't really play with those settings or where to use them

Re: Camera settings problem
 

Its not actually black. In 1.2 playing with the iso settings directly affects the preview image. Whats happening is that there is not enough ambient light for the image to show with that iso setting etc.

Naa, the pictures get black in sunny daylight also.
Recorded the scenario.

I see this has been raised as a bug (10842).

Re: Camera settings problem
 

The Bug number for this is Bug 10384 and BUG 10842 (which is a dublicated one).

From my pont of view there is not enough official response to this serious bug which disables the advanced abilities of the camera. :confused:
So please (to all officials) response to this and tell the users what are the plans to fix this bug. The best would be to meanwhile fast relaease a patch which fixes the bug.

BTW (as I noted in the bug description): I tried again some days ago and I noticed a similar linked bug when underexposing:

It should be correctly that way that at ISO 100, 200 or 400 the picture is expected to appear slightly darker step by step when the exposure correction is set to -0,5, -1,0, -1,5, -2,0 (underexpose).

But this is not working correctly as well: At ISO 100, 200 or 400 the picture changes to a very dark exposure (almost black) when exposure correction it set to -0,5, -1,0, -1,5, -2,0 (underexpose).

This linked bug wasn't noticed before because it is not easy to notice that the darkening of the picture is much to overdone instead of going darker slightly step by step.
