Oh, and thanks MSameer for your great camera app (even without manual focus )
The problem is not whether the camera hardware itself supports it or not.

The problem is that the GStreamer element developed by Nokia does not have such features.
GStreamer itself is a multimedia framework and is as good as the plugins developed are.

Of course I can ditch those components, go deeper and implement the functionality by talking to the kernel driver but then I will be tied to harmattan and N9 because such features will not work in a similar way on other platforms.

Is it a dead end?
Short answer: No
Long answer: I have plans to make the whole application support plugins. I just did not do it yet and I am not sure when I will do it

And BTW: rawcam is open and the code is available on github. You just have to build it yourself

Off-topic but rawcam is available for free on tmo. It's just put at a high price on the Store for those who don't frequent TMO

I didn't know rawcam was also freely available. I guess I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info, MSameer and thedead1440 !

I found this thread on rawcam in TMO. The links for harmattan binaries in there are to repo.pub.meego.com and are of course dead.

I found two different rawcams in openrepos, submitted by lightdot and appsformeego, respectively. I wonder whether there are any differences or not?

I see. So it is not impossible to implement but also time consuming and not simple. Got it . Thanks for explaining it!

That (version 1.0.4) IS the newest version available for harmattan. Version 1.0.7 is for N900 (Fremantle) only.

And this discussion is moving dangerously close to off-topic. I suggest the rawcam only discussion can continue here.

@MSameer i've seen some apps with manual white balance like rawcam and pcam, i don't how they implement it, but it may also be a hue change as it seems.

Code:
initctl reload xsession/mthemedaemon
Tested here and works very well (stock firmware)
ive been meaning to find a way to reload my mthome wallpaper programmatically. this did the trick, thanks!

@MSameer

Hey, would you consider an alternative Icon for Camera+ ?

I made a pretty nice one I think....
