Hi everyone,

I'm one of the developers of the FCam camera API, which we just published for the N900. The API is a joint project between Stanford University and Nokia Research Center Palo Alto. It gives you precise low-level control over the N900's camera subsystem, including RAW capture, full control over all camera parameters, and so on.

We've released a demo app called FCamera that shows off a few of these things, including an HDR viewfinder mode, auto-HDR burst capture, and lucky imaging. And it saves RAW images in the DNG format. It's up in extras-testing.

FCam is a C++ API, and works pretty well with QT (although it has no dependencies on Qt - it works just fine standalone). It depends on fcam-drivers, which are updated camera kernel modules. The development package, fcam-dev, is also available, although you might just want to download that from the project page below.

Now this sounds awesome, I really waited for a application to tweak the camera of the N900. Especially a possibility to save RAW images is a useful option to get the best quality of the mobile phone pictures and edit them lossless afterwards.

I will try it once a quite stable version released.

I have a small request:

Is it possible to merge all the current FCam demonstrations (i.e. HDR and LowLight) under the same FCamera app? This way, one will not have to close/open different apps, and they can share all the controls.

I don't think that's been implemented in any of the programs they've released so far. I suspect there's quite a few things still being worked on, so I'd expect more apps to come out before too long.

What is the license of the project? I saw both of BSD and GPL in the garage page?

FCamera is a demo app?

It's one of the most awesome apps I've seen in a while

Well it is open-source so it might happen. Though i think those programs are "just" showcase demos and will probably stay standalone. To show what it can do.

Edit: By the way.. Titans seams to have found a way to get fcam and the enhanced kernel to coexist.
