and thanks fot this wonderful program.
In fact, in HDR mode the brightness of individual frames is 'equalized', and there is no much difference how the values of the pixels (including noisy values) is multiplied - in camera (high ISO) or in HDR processing. So there is no way to reduce the noise playing with ISO in HDR mode.
Anyway, we will consider adding manual ISO setting when possible.

Could you post an example?

We have never worked on video recording app for N900, sorry .
For video we are working on a video improving application (http://videoimprover.com), but it is not a video recorder, it is intended to enhance videos.

Just found "Camera Lens Launcher 0.2-4" app (http://maemo.org/packages/view/cl-launcher) - you can use it to make BlessN900 start when lens cover is opened (or display camera app selector).

I really like the current BlessN900 app. It takes very nice lowlight pictures, always a problem with the original camera app. Thanks for this.

I too wish someone would make a third-party videocam app that improved the video recording as much as this app has improved the photo taking. Even something that would provide a steady fps...

Hmm.. I'd have sworn I'd done a --force-reinstall in dpkg, but I don't see it's option now. Apparently apt-get is the only way to force a reinstall? That can't be right, but... this works:

Code:
apt-get install --reinstall fcam-drivers
Sorry for the delay. I'm not "watching" this thread, so missed the reply.

In my case (power46) i had to uninstall blessn900 (with dependencies --> fcam-drivers), reboot, enable extras-devel repository, install with apt fcam-drivers (1.7.0-2), install with application-manager blessn900, reboot....and only after these operations everything was right.

This is a great app! I am really happy with the results in low light. Pictures are looking very natural with low noise. I have not got this good quality with my digital cameras. Thanks!

When I i use bless in lowlight conditions the images has a green allover feeling about them.
Tried uninstalling bless and reboot.
Same result with and without fcam installed

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey Eugene,

I dunno if you or anyone else is still working on blessn900 as it's already such a friggin amazing app..

But if so, I'd like to humbly submit two feature requests:

- Make a full shutter press force autofocus, even if the user hasn't waited through the half-press (like a normal camera). I don't know why the default Nokia camera behavior is that way... maybe some attempt to allow manual focus? But manual focus should be implemented with a slider (or something) anyway.

- Kick the process into the background if a user tries to exit while processing images; probably enough just to hide the window and make the user think the app has exited (and abort exit and unhide if user restarts app before it finishes). Alternatively, could launch a separate photo processing thread for each picture and run asynchronously.

If no one's working on it anymore and anyone thinks these would be beneficial let me know and I'd be happy to put together a patch set.
