just a thought

wouldn't it be nice if you added a "switch windows" button to the top left, made "options" its own button and then did away with the "tap to show titlebar" thing? its really annoying and the tap-screen could then be assigned to something else

Not from this application. Both camera-ui deliver the right gps data.
It is a gstreamer component (metadatamux) which truncates
the seconds when converting the gsttag to an exif tag
gst-plugins-bad0.10-0.10.14-git265/ext/metadata/metadataexif.c:

Code:

          /* SS - seconds */
          rt->numerator = (gulong) (0.5 + v * 3600.0);
          rt->denominator = 1;

But this code is open, so maybe it can be fixed as part of
the community SSU.

regards
Nicolai

by the way, you should prevent the screen from locking while the video camera is running

Yes I hate this "tap to show titlebar", too. But I don't want to remove
this fully, as you may want to see the titlebar with the clock
and the statusbar in some situations.

Ah right, this is missing.

Short tap take picture/start-stop recording and long tap (hold) to swap to full screen?

I always wanted to take pictures by tapping the screen, sometimes the camera isn't in the best position to depress the button. Like when using your left hand. Or taking right-hand pics in portrait, the button is really low and takes force, makes me worried I'll drop it.

Even better, long hold switches between

a) non-full screen, with status display and menu bars and controls and customizing stuff (as it is now)

b) a full mode, that has no touchable areas for comfortable imaging - all the screen takes pic or starts recording. Screen could be either camera image only or the controls could be non-clickable - drawn only.

Parenthesis added for clarity

Is there a Pause functionality while recording video in this camera?

BlessN900 has a mode where it takes pictures over a range of focal lengths, to composite them into a better picture.

So it is probably possible to control the focus, to some extent.

Yes, as joerg_rw noted here
It is possible, the same way as LiveFocus works.
It is already implemented
(I should update the first page:-) )

PS. I forgot the on-screen pause icon (doh!). Topmost of 2 that appear mid-left when filming begins.

Update! (see first post)

- add remaining image count label.
- add exif/dng tag in dng file for iso speed and exposure time
- fixed bug in dng tag (maybe this was the reason why lighthouse
refused to load the raw files)
