hi there,
how to use front camera to take picture? thanks before
I think it is not possible, but you can check whether it is working or not via service menu.. to do so, press
R R L R R L R
(R - end call, L - call)
Select Test -> VT Camera..

Hi,
I am writing an application that gets video from camera using Dshow.
I am able to capture from the back camera but not that one in the front
I am using
handle = FindFirstDevice( DeviceSearchByGuid, &guidCamera, &di );
to get CAM1: info.
I noticed a regsitry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sony Ericsson\CAMERA\
I change the key PROPERTY_SOURCE_CAMERA from 0 to 1 but this did not help.
Still getting video from the camera in the back.
any ideas?
u do noe that u can capture video with the front cam by tapping on the settings at the bottom right, then the arrow, then the top icon on the right and selecting Front as the camera source right?..
just checking...
already switched to front camera from the interface, did not help since I want to do it through dshow
How to access front camera?
Hi guys,
I tried accessing the front camera, with no success. I searched through the phone also, but got no where.
I don't see any settings tab on the right side of the screen. Please someone who knows how to access the front camera, please show me how to do this.
I also looked up under start menu < settings for any camera app, but did not find any.
Thanks.
click the cam button
click the settings button got a wrench on it
click the down arrow in the right part of the screen
click the Camera source choose front rather then back
before you asked I didn't know but camera settings seemed a good place to look
I think he wants use front camera with his own app not default X1 cam.
What about calling FindNextDevice ? Yeah .. pretty obvious, I know, but you did not say you have done it, so I just ask to be sure.
I found this:
Capturing video from the front camera on any mobile platform
the last post (by Kevin Loney) points to the following link:
Camera Capture API
I hope this helps.
Funny .. this thread is still marked as it had new messages. But it has not !
it has now
I followed the instruction as above but it did not function. Anyone here find the success of X10's front cam enabling, please kindly provide a step by step setting tutorial.That would be greatly thank to let other users access full feature of the device. Hopefully wait for such a thing!
Hi all,
I have a small question: I have found that i totaly never use my front camera, (the rear one neither -lack of good quality- but thats another story ey) does anybody really use it. And if so, how?
To use front camera, go to
camera (by default back camera will get turned on ) > click anywhere on the screen (except on the button to shoot fotos ) > now you will see new icon on bottom left side of screen in portrait mode (above call button) click on that icon > it will expand camera menu > now go to 'menu' ( by clicking the 'gear' wheel icon in camera menu bar > this will open 6 menu window > here you can select resolution of your both cameras and adjust brightness, white balance etc. > in that click on 'camera' button ( bottom left icon ) > Viola....front cam on. ( its actually toggle switch between front and rear camera )
Hope this answers your query.
it's to make video calls usually with VoIP or 3g. But could also use it as a make-up mirror i suppose or to see if you have ketchup in your mustache as the case may be.
What a beautiful step by step guide to activate the front cam, though i did know how to get there. But thanks just the same. Its just that I havnt found any good use for it ( the ketchup in my beard is cleaned up now, txs) . As for video calls, does anybody use it. And if so, with what software ect...
I guess to use video calls you need to have 3G connection. No other software is needed. I'm not sure though......and for VoIP i have no idea
I was going to make a small app to quickly bring up the front cam to use as a mirror as that's probably the only use I can think for it.
I have taken a few photos with it though, it's not all that bad.
from the htc dialer or yota dialer.. bottom left button looks like a webcam.. thats video call
Does no one read? The question isn't how do you access the front camera, it's if anyone knows of any good use for it due to its quality and the presence of a better camera on the back.
Hiya,
Just a though, wouldn't this be great to use as a webcam in the application skype?
The main challenge would possibly be for the app to recognise the camera.
Iv'e tried this but to no avail.
Anyone had any luck with this?
I know I posted the question, thought a search would be preferred.

On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.

However this was from an old thread, would this still apply or could there be a miracle cure out there? Could be wishful thinking, but definitely a good use for it.
Well Octro.com proved them wrong, check out the Octrotalk with videocall.
Front camera is still not working though.
I have a similar problem....
i go to camera, i click the icon to switch from back to front camera..... IMAGE IS BLACK even if i take a picture it's black.
i have also tried a video call.... image is black.
i'am on rom Dutty's 3.3 and i have also tried dutty's 2.4. same problem.
any suggestion to check if my front camera is broken ?
hi guys. I'm a newbie here and currently i am a Xperia x2 user (new user by the way) I've been trying to locate commands or settings to be able to use the phone's front camera but up to now i am unsuccessful. Is there any way to do that? Please Help. I tried searching in this site but to no avail.

on any panel or today screen press the following as fast as possible
L L R L L R L R
WHERE L STANDS FOR HANG UP,RIGHT FOR ANSWER KEY.

Thanks sir. Working just fine. So sad to know that there is no easy function to activate the front Cam. I hope it will come in their next update.

Thank you very much for this useful code.
I did the same code. I got the service menu then I pressed tests. But I didn't find no front camera. Does that means that my Sony Ericsson X2 Does not have a front camera?

Hi to all,
is working the auto-focus on camera ?? or it only me that i have this issue ?
autofocus works fine in camcorder, but i trying to take a photo of my bussines-card and i cant read my name.. number.. etc :/
happen to all ?
thank, and sorry for my english
I can't get the camera to focus either. I'm guessing the HD7 camera button is the kind that focuses when you press it lightly, and takes the picture when you press it completely.
So I'm thinking the only way to get it to focus is to map the function to a different key. But that might not be possible.
Just my thoughts...
I notices This issue too, but found an easy way to focus with camera. 2 Options :
- Having your phone pointing the object you want to take a picture of before launching the camera software -> focus ok 80%
Or
- Just switch to video camera (->Autofocus) then switch back to photo mode (still focused)
I hope it helps a bit

So I'm unlocked and rooted and would like to make the g cam my default cam. Like double press power to take me to g cam. And all apps that use cam take me to g cam also? There a way to pull this off?
Thanks
