Three options and you can only on or off? Unacceptable for me. Auto flash is quite useful and it must exist. RER with forced flash is the cost of no option number 4. Are you using forced flash often? For me it's a bit useless function

Well, now I have to find out most interesting but also most hidden features, it won't be that easy

I can't say i would ever use flash in light conditions. What I'd like to have is ISO 100 with flash and perhaps manual shutter time with(out) flash to take landscape shots. |

You are right, the more options the better  its sometimes useful to have forced flash, like when the light source is behind your subject, instead of lighting it up from the front.

How if you put Enhanced Mode into scene? Eg. Twilight landscape.
And change twilight portrait become party mode. So it will be much more exciting when we have bunch of option for taking a picture

Yes it is, also try spot metering in the camera menu, it's dedicated to shots of the objects with bright backlight.

Hybrid EM comes from Twilight landscape Both have exactly the same upper limit of exposure time (1/2s) but different ISO values. What's most important hybrid EM can be used with autofocus.
And change twilight portrait become party mode. So it will be much more exciting when we have bunch of option for taking a picture
I think about it. Any special settings for "party mode"?

not much differs with EM™ (I put "™" mark to put honor in your work) maybe something like this: ISO 100 and SS 1 sec. All Contrast and sharpness just took from twilight portrait itself (I just could manage to make SS 1/2 sec in my private camdriver).
Or if you could bend a limit, you could put "Fireworks" scene here. It's so Nice (it was impossibility at the moment....SS are 4 sec long)

@raiderski
in this version of yours, does the default color saturation is the same from original camdriver?
you stated that you've rectify the blue-purple color, too bad I no longer has the purple rope, so I could not test yours.. (it was me who reported the purple color issue in previous camdriver)
and can you include manual focus in video mode also?

@Raider: i don't know this thing
if i want the 1st layer or 2nd layer, what do i need to do ?
is it like this
- 2EV and zoom 1 is 1st layer, zoom 2 is 2nd layer
after that just use joystick to choose the value of each layer
right ?

yes
1. Start the camera
2. Move to position -2.0
- Click '+' once and it will move to 2nd layer. Otherwise if you click '-' it will stay on current (1st) layer
3. Use the joystick left/right to select function
4. Do changes...
5. Go back to position -2.0 if you want to move back to 1st layer
- Click '-' once and it will move to 1st layer. Otherwise if you click '+' it will stay on current (2nd) layer

There are 2 types of saturation:
- top saturation
- normal saturation
I didn't changed normal saturation (you can do this yourself in customization zone at top of driver code) but I changed top saturation. In original driver top saturation was 0 (off), I use 1 which improves a bit deep blue - purple colors. Effect is slightly. If you want to see it in action then use colors saturation (Aino method) and switch from value 0 to 1.
and can you include manual focus in video mode also?
I tried already but reaction on -/+ clicks is very slow. Maybe I will try again soon

Yep
BTW. It's not only for macro, step 1 is infinity focus. What's the difference between this and infinity in the camera menu? One thing: with my infinity focus you can lock AE with half pressed camera key, with original infinity you can't

Manual focus in video mode would be great, but it would be too slow, i wonder if theres a way to increase speed of zooming to change values, but this might be controlled by firmware needing a patch
Or if you could bend a limit, you could put "Fireworks" scene here. It's so Nice (it was impossibility at the moment....SS are 4 sec long)
Then we can have the full potential of the camera, like in the K850i if only it wasn't so much more complicated.
