Manual shutter speed and other cmera features

[CraigRobbo]

Is there a way to implement a manual shutter speed control, maybe brightness and iso?

very cool idea. i totally support this. maybe some bulb exposure mode will also do. blub exposure on my canon is, press the shutter as long as u like to satrt the exposure and when u release the button, the exposure ends

[CraigRobbo]

The bulb exposure also sounds like an excellent idea!

My main goal on this is to get good action shots(personally) but adjusting shutter speed would be great for everyone!

If someone could implement this it would be very cool....

[CraigRobbo]

Anyone willing to look intot his?

I wouldnt know where to start!

The camera application is not open source, so there's no way to add functionality to it (other than by reporting enhancement requests).

here's my phone wish list:

panorama. samsung phones do this well.

ability to add GIF images with transparency. so you can have people take a picture in the hole. know what I mean? like those things at the carnival where you put your head in the mural?

[CraigRobbo]

There is the 'iFocus' application to control the focus and allow video light - surely its possible to add manual shutter speed?

Thanks

I would love this too!

And @roger_27, have you tried Morpho QuickPanorama from the ovi store? It works great but it's still a low res trial, I can't wait for the full version!

Hmmm... perhaps someone could port F-Spot which could do most of this in post-processing.
Wonder how easy it would be to port with a nice touch-friendly Qt interface?

Anyone..?

Hey again.

If the camera app is closed source is it not possible to make a new app for the camera with more features?

A beef up camera client along the lines of the jail broken canon ones (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK) would be a killer app on the N900.

I don't think there are any projects out there to remake the camera app? Probably requires a mini team and quite a lot of time.
