I like bless900 but I find it very slow to take a picture - if I half press to focus, then full press to take the shot, I get a delay of about 8-10 seconds while the screen still shows a moving image of the scene I'm snapping before it changes to the clockwise display of thumbnails of the various images being captured.
From the point at which I press the camera button until the captured imaged is displayed fullscreen, the background of the "X" in the top right of the bless900 window gets highlighted light grey.
If I move the camera during the delay to a different scene, the photo eventually taken is of that new scene (so the delay is not due to any active image processing).
2 questions:
a) is the delay I describe normal for bless900
b) would it be substantially reduced if I upgraded to ABC

Beside optically, It is also possible to create a background blurring effect digitally with some photo-retouching software like Photoshop. I wondered if any professional camera can perform such complicated task automatically. I'd be grateful to know if you do. ^^

By the way, I enjoy the application, and am just trying to give feedback. I appreciate your efforts in continuing to support tha app. Keep up the goodwork!

Could this be a bug?
I noticed on several occassions, the first shot is normally without the red/blue speckles. Subsequent shots have high tendencies including the error; "sorry, There is too little light to compute focus-depth. A standard image will be saved instead" especially when you use different features.

At first, I thought it could be due to some processing limitation because I could see the picture preview (right side icon) processing. But I also tried letting it finish processing and took more shots which encountered the same error.
Please let me know what information/snapshots will be helpful for your checking and I will try to get them. Thanks again.

@Eugene.Panich, are you going to announce in this thread when you have a new version, fully working with kernel power? After the problems in hq zooming, I uninstalled ABC and reinstalled BlessN900, so I won't be notified by HAM or Fapman if a new version is available. Thanks a lot.
Sometimes, the camera takes the picture only after I release the camera button. Even with full press the camera button, nothing happens.
It's not a major problem, but just confusing when I need to wait for the camera to take the picture or just release the button.
By the way, is there a program to do the background blurring like those professional cameras do?
