I have an HTC AT&T Pure running duttys R10 rom.
everythings great but in camera mode I have no macro mode (little flower) for shooting up close pictures. I've searched all over this forum and the web and have found no mention of a macro mode for this phone's camera. Except review mentions of "with macro mode for up close shots" etc.
With a 5 megapixel camera I would figure that such a mode would be possible but I cannot find it or a way to make it appear.
any ideas? am I just asking too much of my Topaz?
So just like everywhere else? Nobody has any idea?
My personal view is that the auto focus does a very good job of focusing at around 6-8 cm from the subject. Thus not needing the macro (flower icon). My Samsung WB1000 focuses only very slightly nearer than 6cm and thats in macro mode but dues to wide lens on the unit it coin still seems further away.
Attached are photos, infact I would say that the Diamond 2 gets closer to the coin but does not hold as much detail.
I have not tried this with my DSLR but it would depend on which lens I used.

To enable Macro Mode navigate in registry to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\MacroMode=>1
OMG!!! sweet.. thx bruce.. ill try that now and see if that works.. or is what im looking for..
EDIT: Seems to be working better. Close up pics are clearer that autofocus.. thx again.

Sorry, not sure how to force to RAW format.
I just applied Bruces Reg suggestion, and don't see any Macro setting, after resetting. Will it just automatically go to Macro when close up? This site is a great source of info!

It should open the control panel within the software, giving you the flower icon for close ups.
Recheck the key and see if it stayed = 1.
Yes, it stayed at 1. Hmmm. I'll take some close up pics, and see how they come out.

Hi guys,
Since my Universal is dead I've just brought an HTC Tytn.
There is any way to access the front videocam? In Universal you just need to go to camera app and choose the front camera, where you can take pictures and make videos.
In Hermes camera app you can only access the 2.0mpx cam... I've already installed Coolcamera 1.5b and I still can't choose the front VGA videocam.
Any suggestions?
Tks

PS. No 3G networks available in Brazil, so no videocalls yet...

I had same problem, but some folks have said coolcamera can access front camera - maybe someone can let us know how it's done with coolcamera?
Mike
yup coolcamera let's you access it, you just switch from main to frontcam, you can take pics and all using it.
photo / settings / sensor / front
If you go into settings there is a setting called "Sensor" ... you need to change that from 'Main' to 'Front' and then it will capture from the front camera.
Hope this helps

hi
it's possible access to front camera without use coolcamera?

I can use the front camera now with coolcamera but the screen is 90 rotated to the right. There is no way which I could correct this even if I change the rotation setting. Can someone help, please?

Yeah. I get that too.
Also, Probably me being dense, I can't seem to get the web cam to actually work on my pc.
I can set the IP address in the pda to that of my PC. The port is 2047 on both devices, but nothing seems to appear.
What am I doing wrong?

Difficult to say. Presume ypu have used d-pad or jog wheel on device to select webcam mode. Presume you have started the coolcam software on your PC and a coolcam window (which is expandable) has opened on your screen with instructions as to the next steps to take. And finally that your active sync connection is live. Sometimes I get the window on PC coming up blank/black in which case I close PC application and restart it.
The little 90 symbol on screen should rotate image. If not and restarting does not make it work, I think I'd reload the software.

On CoolCamera forums support said that the rotaton issue is a bug they're aware of and will fix later. Nothing you can do for now.

Is there an application to turn on and off the so-called flash on the camera without launching the camera app itself? In other words is there a simple way to use my $500 phone as a $0.50 LED light?

Hello vijay, is there any chance to have it working on Asus P525?, this ppc has the facility to record video with flash on.
I been trying your candela but dosen't work.
I can look into it - but it's not a device I've ever used so unlikely. Can you get me a rom dump? Thanks... V
Works!

I think that it will be enough for you, but please advice if you need more info.
Cheers mate.
also looking for a program for this. hope vijay can help us.
it says that doing this will cause permanent damage to the led
What does?
Leaving the flash on for too long will cause the flash to blow on some devices. Some guys have had it running for days. Some have blown it after a few hours.
I limit its use to 30 seconds I think, in VJCandela. However, you should use it with your own caution. But now, it won't blow your flash with a single use or whatever.

The LED is obviously over driven to make it bright enough for use with the camera and in normal use it is restricted to only short bursts.

With P525 if you are in video mode you can hold the led illuminated, so i think that if you don't use it for very long time the led will not be damaged.
Hello there vijay...
a question for you regerding vj candela and hermes...
you may have already noticed that when you use the flash light in hermes to take a picture with default camera apps...then the flash light up bit more (say double) brighter for a few second just in time of taking the picture...
so my question is it possible in ur apps (vj candela) to use that extra doubled light rather then the normal brightness??? its just a request i know that turning the flash in high mode may shorten the life span of the bulb but i just interested to see the implimentation...
and one more request...can you add a feature in ur vj candela so that when we use the hardware mode lightup then the screen brightness will turn it off automatically and will reverd back after the flash get off...
anyways thanks a million for what u have done for us all..
br.

Maybe that's why this is damaging some devices, because it's using the brighter mode that only works in bursts with the camera.
Actually, I just did some quick testing using the ambient light sensor on my macbook pro (how's that for resourcefulness?). It's not exactly scientific, but whatevs.
I read the value of the ambient light sensor from the camera flash from a height of 10". This test was done with a Cingular 8525.
Turning on the flash in the camera program: 1024
Light from VJCandela: 1024
Light when turning of flashlight mode in the camera settings: 1200
Light during flash: 1450
So it appears that my theory was wrong. If anything, the camera flashlight is stronger than the regular flash mode. Although I suspect they are exactly the same - like I said this wasn't exactly a scientific way of testing...
Sorry, not sure if I understood the thread - the Camera app/Flash driver has a "burst" flash mode, a normal flash mode, and and off mode.
Burst flash is brighter then normal flash, and is used in the instant that you take the photo - this normally causes the screen to go off for a second though. My app uses "normal" flash mode, which should be safe for relatively short periods (eg 1 min). Burst flash is for a few seconds max I guess.

Yeah, that bugged me when I first got my 8525. Try holding your stylus on the link and selecting "Save As," instead of just clicking on it.

Is there any camera app out there that can take pictures in full res in panorama mode? if there isnt then itd be a nice idea for another community app n the pictures neednt be stitched together as ive read thats the main problem due to memory constraints.
The AT&T Tilt has it built in as one of it's camera modes. Maybe there's a way to pull it off there.
the builtin ones don't take pics in full resolution in panorama mode... my hermes has a builtin one too but it only shoots in VGA for panorama mode.
this can be done by editing the registry!
HKLM/Software/HTC/camera/P3 i think, could be another Px.
change the MainCamCaptSize to 1024 and the MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744.
BUT BE CARFULL!!! Don´t use it with 6 pics because you can get a problem with memory!

Well you're lucky, my samsung omnia will only take up to qvga in panorama :'(
I'll check out the registry see if I can tweak that !
nope didnt work didnt use those exact values instead used the ones that were for the normal full res camera... 1024 etc warent anywhere(not even corresponding to the full camera... full cam used 512 n 724)
An app that just shows the last shot pic 25-30% faded on any one selectable side, n saves all the panorama pics(of one set) separately... would be just ideal....
Hi all guys, the panorama function of diamond is very interesting and I used it a lot. Wow it is fantastic but the only pity is this apps only can capture 3 different angle pics and make a view picture. Is there any possible to capture more than 3 pics? Per my experience, the original apps can get 120 degree picture not 360 degree landscape.
My wish is to get 360 degree landscape......Anybody can give a hand?
why not mesh 3 panoramics?

Hi thanks, yeah I know I can get 3 panoramics and Photoshop it in my computer...But my questions is how to directly get 360 degree landscape on phone. Anybody can ajust this apps to capture more pics like 5 or 6 and get a wider view pic easly? not by using Photoshop, I assume everybody can do it with this tool.
...
i hope this is possible..it sounds like an amazing idea..
im not sure if it can be done with the original camera software but maybe it could be done with a custom program
There is a registry setting for this uder:
HLK>Software>HTC>Camera>Captparam>Panoramashoots
Increase that number from 3 to watever you want it to be.

Don't know if I'm wrong but you can get more than 3 pics, you can get 6.
Select panorama > go to options menu of camera > select advanced > go to page 4/5.
Here you can change from 3 to 4/5/6.
ah thanks alot morphox£¡£¡ I make it £¡£¡

Hi all,
I found that compared to the HD2, the camcorder function of the S200 is VERY bad, basically very blurry when there's motion. I've tried searching the registry for something that determines the bitrate/fps of video but couldn't find anything definitive.
Does anyone know a way to increase the quality of the camcorder?
I think there is little you can do about.
The camera of neotouch is very poor and so is video recording... It's a flaw u'll have to live with if you stick with the neotouch...
doubt it...the camera just sux..
Xakep from acer-club.ru find the answer -
Camera from 1.002c is faster then from 3.003c(b)!
acer-club.ru/Foto-Videokamera-s200-t461-page-360.html
Don't work with EzInput - just switch to other keyboard before starting camera.
capture mode: "Photo" or "video", don't try "anti-shake" - it's not work with this..
Deleted because of the error.
I try it on your manila rom and official 3.003c, it works.

Thx for your rom's, it's really good..
i tried that mod and it works flawlessly, camera recording is fluent as it should have been since day one.
there is just one single bug : shutter sound cant be disabled eventhough i ticked the option to disable it.
is there any work around ?
thanks for that mod btw

Just rename the file "ShutterSound.wav" in the Windows folder or delete it.
LOL thank you for this patch, you can really appreciate the improvement!! (form very crappy, to ammm... not really bad)
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the cab, seems to work very well.
Also pushing out the little plastic lens protector in the back cover seems to improve things as well, mine had marks that couldn't be cleaned off it
yep, i did the same
The plastic lens decreases the picture quality very noticably.
Also decreasing the light value reduces the chances that pictures are blurry
Thanks for sharing. It really improved a lot.

With regards to the camera I found the following. If you have SPB shell active and you press the camera button to activate the camera, it also presses the fist item on the spb shell screen (in my case the clock or depending on the screen a contact or widget adjusting screen). This doesn't happen with WM standard UI.
I find it strange that nobody else noticed this. I use the stock acer 3.003c rom and have this problem with spb shell 3.5.3,3.5.4 and 3.5.5
Anyone else noticed this?

As the former poster tried to explain. There's no solution but to disable "click and hold" in SPB Mobile Shell settings
Settings --> System --> last item "support click and hold" -> off
that way the camera press won't interfere with the click to "edit layout" function. A minor hassle indeed but a hassle nonetheless.
Oh well, for the price. The S200 ain;t that bad. It's weird that the next model in Acer's WM-line, the P300, is LESS capable (and much slower) than our beloved Neotouch? But it does get a newer WM6.5?!?!?! What's with these morons? Just keep the S200 in your line-up and goddamn keep selling it. Soon all those Android ppl will return and they need a Windows Mobile phone NOT a Windows Phone phone!
