Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

For some reason this doesn't seem to work for me.
I set (Stop RLED) then tapped off, to go back to the main camera live view.

When starting video, the red light comes on, goes off and then comes back on & stays on. I've tried various permutations of settings with no luck.

After starting recording, I can disable the RLED by tapping the RLED button, however I have to do this everytime I record which kinda defeats the auto disable option.

Any ideas why? Is there an incompatibility with PR1.2 ?

Can't we patch the kernel with a /proc/sys flag to never display the red LED! Sigh.

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

Yeah that would be really useful, but is it only me or the live focus dialog box seems to be preety useless not only because it is very hard to see the actual outcome (as n900 'blurs' the area outside the 'live focus' dialog box ) but because of the fact that the focus can be changed either by 'a-s' keys and also with the zoom buttons (volume control keys). I know that it might be caused by the fact that some may use the digital zoom function.

I would suggest to use the proximity sensor to toggle between volume keys changing zoom and changing focus. I think it would be preety handy.

Just my 2 cents...

what am i doing wrong? every time i start capturing video, the LED light turns off. doesn't the remember LED suppose to keep the LED on?

2 ways i can make the LED light useful is when i turn it on while recording, which kinda waste some darkened recordings, or i turn on the LED then the rem.led., i half press the camera button until the LED turns off. then i fully press the camera button to start recording and lo and behold, the LED turns on too and i get the result i wanted.

is it suppose to work that way? any feedback is appreciated.

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

i have the following problem:

if i manually focus and either place the cam app in the dashboard or dont do anything for a while, the cam goes into standby mode and by doing so the manual focus gets lost, meaning that i have to manually focus again..

is there no way from stopping it from "resetting" when going into standby or is there a way of preventing the cam from going into standby if i am not filming/doing anything?

help would be appreciated, its urgent!

I still wait for the next update which adds hopefully a option to disable the proximity sensor, its really annoying that it always activate the manual focus bar when the light changes a bit.

The video recording crashed several times.... had to uninstall the app...:(...Waiting for the update

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

How does this application disable the red LED light?

Surely it is possible to set it as a default option natively (in the kernel, config file?).
I have no use for this 'application' besides disabling the record light, so is there anyway to just disable it.

Is this project still alive? The package in Extras-testing is unlocked for 4 weeks and does not get rejected or promoted.
