Excellent! This is really shaping up to become a great little app.


Any chance you could add the option of capturing the RAW data while you're at it?

We'll try to reproduce this problem.
Camera is in automatic mode. Flash is "always off". White balance: automatic. Resolution: high.

This is the critical factor, though: Exposure was set to -0.5. When I set exposure to 0, ISO 400 photos are taken normally. And ISO 200 seems to work the same way.

Again, this is not necessarily related to blessn900, but I appreciate your looking into it.

Maybe you can share your project with Retro camera app?

80MB? I'm using conky and this one site(one open browser) and my mem is already 172MB used of 239MB so that is I have just around 60MB left and I don't think closing these two apps gonna give me back 20MB. Maybe thats why I keep getting "Not enough memory, plz close some apps" everytime I try to do HDR. However, pic gets saved but the only thing is, it looks horrible like I attached before. Can it be coz of this mem problem? thanks..

EDIT: Actually, I did get around 100MB free after closing browser and got to take couple shots without the warning msg but no improvement in the HDR whatsoever..

Are you taking HDRs holding the phone in hands not putting it on something stable? And is there a movement in the scene (say, in the example you posted - were the trees moving in the wind?)

Thanks!
We wish we could get RAW data ourselves, but now we can't. We are still trying to find how to do it (it's undocumented for OMAP3 camera ISP)... if we succeed - there will be an option to save RAW images.

Thanks for clarification. Here's what I've found:
If the camera has another settings (not -0.5, 400) on start, and I set it to -0.5, 400 - all works ok. If I then close the camera and start it again (so it is started with -0.5, 400 now) - the viewfinder goes black and the photo is black, but after taking the first photo the problem is cured - I see normal viewfinder and can take normal images.

All that is on a phone completely reflashed with PR1.2

So it seems to be Nokia's "feature"

Ya actually I'm using my hands but I'm putting my hands on sth stable to make sure it doesn't shake coz I don't have stands at all. I don't think so the wind was blowing but I had couple others taken of my heater with red hot rod but turned out to tubelight bulbs Actually, I just took couple putting camera on the wall to seee.. and here it is:


EDIT: No wind at all..
