Lowlight doesn't seem to save images anywhere, or if it does I can't find them... am I being stupid?

Same here, stock kernel no overclock no bless900.

To use the standard camera app after opening the lens you can depress the shutter button to activate the camera app.

The new FCam drivers don't seem to know anything about the lens cover sensor on the N900, so presumably they have somehow deactivated it when replacing the normal camera driver.

It's a shame it wasn't picked up as Nokia have apparently been working on this with the university guys - perhaps better N900/Maemo integration will come later (won't hold breath).

Yes.

lowlight processes your pictures in the background, and it can take several minutes per photograph.

When the processing of each image is complete the jpg should appear in the MyDocs/.images directory (where they can be viewed in the Photos application).

ah ok. They aren't appearing in the images directory but maybe I'm not giving it enough time to process them.

I am also unsure if the process for lowlight or HDR has completed, and may be exiting before they are completed.

A status message of "Processing" and possibly "Completed" would be very useful.

It's good to get a feel for the community's experience with a new tool/toy. These bug discussions are interesting.

If you find a bug you can report it to the bug tracker for the application so it can be vetted, assigned and addressed.

https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=1693

Is the bug page for part of the fCam application. Be sure the developers are aware of your unexpected experiences so this application can be molded into something that works as imagined.

Currently there only two reported bugs. One has to do with lack of feedback and the other with install issues when using the Enhanced Linux Kernel.

Yes. In fact, in practical terms, this app is not really usable until some sort of status message is provided.

Especially as there is no way to switch to other applications and leave it to do its stuff in the background. You have to quit to use anything else on the phone.

is it just me or after installed fcam-driver my N900 stock camera app taken pictures with more grain and light sensitive? Whereas the dark area will be blocks of black boxes and doesn't dethering properly?

I hope it is just me
If anyone experiencing this then I'll log the bug otherwise please move on!

I had the problem of opening the lens cover not activating the stock camera app today. It doesn't happen all the time. But I think it is related to the installation of Fcam so is a bug of some sort.
