Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

try this, hold the camera key and make it autofocus, then close the lens cover, the same sound comes from the lens, I think its only the lens resetting its position to default when it goes idle.

Is there a way to mute the Camera shutter sound?

lfocus_0.307-1
a widget that will make you control the led and the focus from the touchscreen is added
*note, you don't need to turn on the keyboard script to use the widget

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

If we have the icon in the status bar menu do we need the ico in the apps menu anymore?

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

open up this thread from your phone and download the latest
package and remember where you saved the package to

open up your file manager and open up the package from there and you'll start the installation process.

the widget is to control the camera from the touch screen for now.
but to use the keyboard shortcuts you still need to open up the icon in the apps menu.

I might add an option to toggle the keyboard shortcuts from the widget in the future.

wow! the script has evolved into an excellent app... congratulations mate!

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

Thanks m2cm2c. Excellent app, it really is! The only negative that I can see is that when you use the onscreen bar to focus it greys out the main image (as menu's do) making it harder to see when the image is actually in focus. I'd imagine this is a limitation of pop up menus in maemo 5 though is it? Not that its a big problem for me though because I prefer to use the volume buttons to focus anyway :)
