Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 
@ m2cm2c

why the background is blurred when the focus change?
whether this can be changed, and we can see a video image without the blanking or blurring?
Thanks!

[Announcement]
lfocus is now up in Extras

also this will be my todo list for the upcoming versions:
  • an autofocus option
  • The built in timer should use the red flash to alert the user it's going to take the photo.
  • checkbutton with a default of off or something in the same step that you choose the timer.
  • the buttons "on" and "off" for each flash could be unified in only two "switch" buttons, "red flash status" and "main flash status"
  • the LED stays on when you actually begin recording a video
  • add python-hildon to the dependencies
  • use the proximity sensor, to pop the menu only while camera is active.
  • Might be nice to have a popup on install explaining stuff.
  • consider optification in the next release.
  • Add a checkbox to the left of the manual focus progress bar which will control the functionality of intercepting the half press.
  • Move the keyboard toggle button to the lfocus dialog.
  • Add a delay to the proximity sensor
  • Add a confirmation box to the rem.led and stop rled buttons
  • ignore both proximity sensor and keyboard when Camera is not on the foreground

Amazing man.
Good job!
Just a suggestion :
Most of the time, I won't want to open the the keyboard to use lFocus, then I have to go out of fullscreen to activate it.
Maybe you can use the proximity sensor, to pop the menu only while camera is active. Then you can stay in fullscreen (maybe) and shorten the number of presses needed to enter the menu.

Installing update, will be testing!

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 
Ok Tested :

Update went fine (on LPR1.2), found the following bug :

- Keyboard shortcuts and icon toggle are not synced.
- Reproduction : always
- How? : Turn led on with keyboard shortcut, now open the GUI toggle buttons, and click the same flash, they toggle will be lit, but the led... not so much (;

I don't think it's important... but I'm a qa dude to the core so... here it is!
On my scale this passes QA though.

What I really like about this is it unlocks the true macro photography potential of the N900. I can now focus down to 3cm using the manual focus puller. I get very sharp results at 7cm.

The first image is of some 11 or 12 point type from a photocopy shot at 7cm using lfocus.

This second image was taken of the same subject at 7cm using the standard auto macro mode.

There is a huge improvement using lfocus.

the lfocus dialog can now be turned on by using the proximity sensor instead of tapping the screen and clicking on the logo

please read the first post on this thread for more info.
