The link below is to TI's omap35x camera subsystem manual. I would assume that the two camera subsystems would be very similar if not the same.

This manual suggests the following features are in hardware:
- custom white balance
- Colour filter
- noise reduction
- Programmable color correction (RGB to RGB)
- Programmable gamma correction: 1024 entries for each color
- Programmable color conversion (RGB to YCbCr 4:4:4)
-Color subsampling (YCbCr 4:4:4 to YCbCr 4:2:2)
- Luminance enhancement (non-linear)
- Resizing

These features should be accessible from camera drivers as I would assume they are the same drivers that are used for the OMAP35x processors.

Other features could be implemented in software.
Wow thanks so much! That includes a surprisingly handy and comprehensive list of everything the camera module can do and how to use it. Also reading it's abilities reminds me that I should add live histograms to the list of features for this.

Anyone care to confirm that this is the same set of drivers (or similiar to) for the OMAP34x processors?

If they are that confirms a lot of things that an advanced camera app could do on here.
