This works for me even with the latest cssu update.

You using fcam as well -ie Blessn900 or fcamera are installed? I am. We potentially all have such different progs installed it is v difficult to pin matters down plus not all n900 are equal....

Yes I have fcamera. The dsmetool issue should not be that important
at the moment. I would like to concetrate on the camera-ui functions.

Could you add a custom manual mode, with each parameter (focus length, exposure time, sensitivity etc) individually toggleable between automatic and manual, with manual values settable both with GUI and with the keyboard (two keys for each parameter, to set it up and down), prefferably working "live" during videos (like with the live focus script), please?

focus length isn't configurable at all.
Exposure time, and sensitivity are already configurable.
Keyboard control is a good idea!

What about taking a picture by clicking on screen instead of pressing the cam key?

Thanks for the good work

Sorry, i think i used the wrong term, my bad.


I mean the focus adjustment, the thing that in old cameras you would twist the lens to adjust.

I don't think it is possible to use manual focus adjustment.
All I can do is start and stop autofocus.

How does that LiveFocus script thingy does it then?

for the button issues I suggest your cam goes with full integration of a metalayer that's dealing with assigning actions to all the buttons. I.E. include all the functions of shortcutd as a generic pkg that the cam is depending on. It's really a PITA how apps seize control of a particular button or switch or sensor, we should've had a genuine manager for *all* this from beginning, but as that's not fixable now we like to have humble cooperative apps that allow to free their buttons for doing sth different than what the app originally used it for. (bad example: xchat seizing the vol+/- buttons, even when they are freed in keymap settings of xchat. Here it's obviously the problem of original camera-ui seizing the camslider so it's hard to get a menu opening up on slider-open rather than the camera - buzzword flashlight)
