Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

I usually call it by the proximity sensor trigger (cover the sensor for a couple of seconds and then move away)

anyword on that update hope youre alright m2cm2c

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

It would be nice to see further updates, there are still some issues with the script:

- The menu is sometimes bad readable because the its scrolling not far enough when you touch it wrong

- The keyboard is not enabled by default, it takes time to enable it first, without it the focus is quite useless because the screen is dark when you use the slider

- The LEDs don't stay active if you start the record, you have to re-enable them first

- The auto focus bugs sometimes, its only active when you put the finger from the camera button but not when you try to take a picture

- The script goes insane if you use it while no camera app is running and may can even damage the focus?

- There is by default no possibility to disable the proximity sensor which can be quite annoying when you have the hand over it while you take pics

Will not work for me.
When I use the app the screen is black so I cannot see what is in focus or not.

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

Stupid me.
worked out how to make it work
Is there any way of having zoom and focus working at same time?
At the momemt I need to disable live focus to get zoom function back.

My N900 dual LED flash lights were on during video recording, but it suddenly stopped working. Only RED LED is on, any clues?

So...is it working for anyone???:confused:

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

works...pls read the 1st post clearly !.. easiest way is to cover the proximity sensor for 2 secs and remove....

m2cm2c any plans to update the app ? i/many would love to have continuous auto focus...i mean to auto focus every 5 secs while recording.

nkirk.

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

Even with the latest version of the script, I didn't like the proximity sensor option (I am left-handed and constantly activate it without meaning to) so I switched it off using this method.
The version of the script is different; I now commented out lines 172-192 (the whole if-then-else part starting with 'if pxs == 1:')
It seems to work. Eitama, is that what you did as well?

I don't think the original developer m2cm2c is still active here, so I didn't bother requesting it.
By the way, it still works with the new camera-ui but the view goes black when the menu item comes up, so the keys are the only useful method now. But I preferred that anyway.

Wow this looks pretty cool!

This is such a huge thread I didn't read through it all the way, but have you considered giving something towards Nicolai's "camera-ui2" project? :)

I don't know if your projects differ too much anymore, but maybe you could give a hand here and there, share experiences, problems etc.? :)
