when i use the mirror app it says the quality of the image depends on the version of the hardware and software. when using indoor light , ie in a room with one bulb, i can't see a thing unless i point the front camera directly at the bulb. when i do that i get a very fuzzy white blur.

then i saw this youtube video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TDO9ok4sWI

and was quite shocked at the perfect quality.

i do have power kernel 46 and also the fcam drivers installed, but would like to know if the quality in the above video is normal for everyone else.

edit: i recommend looking at the video using cutetube and not microb to see the quality

mine is very dark indoor, almost black image using mirror app.i have not seen my front cam quality like youtube vidieo.but in sunlight it looks better.

i used smscon(it uses front cam to snap photo) and many people including me gets a BLACK image taken from the front cam.(search smscon thread for proof)

so how could that video gets so much better quality?(and this is blowing your mind ok)

this what i think.....

the video was perform in very much light,that is why quality is much better.you can his hands shining in the light.(that is what i think)

Look around here, this another thread somewhere about it where someone posted a gstreamer command, something like gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video1 driver=omap3cam ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink, or something along those lines, im on my phone right now but ill check when I get home.

ok, i found another command with brightness and contrast settings

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videobalance brightness=0.3 contrast=2 ! autovideosink

it's a bit better but still rubbish compared to that video..

Try firing up the mirror proggie after making a video call with Skype; Skype seems to try to adjust the camera to adapt to the current environment settings, while most other programs that (try to) use the face camera apparently just turn it on.

Install the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-extra and open mirror app after, it will be a lot better.
