CSSU version 20.2010.36-maemo14 (released 11.04.2011) received a new camera-ui (a rewrite of the old application by Nicolai Hess).

[edit] New features

The new camera-ui isn't just a rewrite, it contains new features (note that keys are case sensitive, for example R = shift + r):

  • Use the on screen button to capture, or press c on the keyboard, or press the shutter button full way directly (without the half press to focus).
  • Color filters can applied to the image before capturing them, use the on screen button to change filters.
  • White balance can be changed with "w" on the keyboard or the on screen button in the bottom toolbar.
  • A timer can be used to capture an image, use the on screen button to select the time, make sure you've focused the image first.
  • Automatic UI opening (on camera lens Opening or on the cam key press) can be disabled in the title bar menu settings.
  • After focusing, the distance is shown at the top right of the screen.
