I have a job for A44's users
Hello everyone, here come
A4A -7.8
What is new and what is that job?
Here is my answer:
@CID49:
-First of all,you can see how sharp the pictures are with A4A-7.7? And are you pleased with it? I know some will say Yes and some will say No. But you may have notice that A4A-7.7 has more exposure than the previous versions for CID49. That is bcz I settup the contrast and brightness to 01. That is just for testing and I received comments about it. Thank you for your help. To be honest, I dont like that as well. Therefore, in A4A-7.8:
No change in sharpness - No change in colour - Contrast is 01 - Brightness is 00
- Compression is setup to 91% which may crash on CID49. However, I haven't got my phone crashed so far. If you face with that problem please tell me as soon as possible or see the following information.
-Here is the new setting on A4A-7.8: First of all, I would like to say
Thank you Raiderski for his _Set-Profile_ code. By using his code, I have an idea for -Colour Profile- So what is
Colour Profile
-
Colour Profile Colour profile is a function which can be turn on by setting
EV +2.0 . For every zoom step, you will get a pre-defined settings including: colours/brigthness/saturation/contrast... which you like. For example: In A4A-7.8, I have settup 4 defined profile:
-------
At EV+2.0, zoom 1.0: default value for all of the settings. You will have the same quality as A4A-7.7
-------
At EV+2.0, zoom 1.1: You will get Cloudy Profile which I pick up from Raiderski's driver. However, in order to make it has the same effect as Raiderski's driver does, please use Normal quality + macro off. And
you must read this one:
With my driver, you still be able to use supermode when you change the profile. However, the viewfinder will flash to dark and then go back to normal again. So why does this happen? It is bcz we can't get risk of it until we have a new way to set up profile. When you change zoom to 1 step (+- 0.1), exposure/shutterspeed's values in supermode will change with the value of the zoom so you will see it darker when you are in door or at low light enviorment. However, it will go back to normal after 1 sec since I setup the Init value for it to go back to normal, ecept the pre-defined colours are different .
-------
At zoom 1.2: It is settup to have more yellow. As you know, when you take the picture in the late afternoon, you may get blue or white pictures whereas there are other colours. By set up more yellow, the pictures will look like they have some more sunlight.
--------
At zoom 1.3: Which is settup for you when you take picture without extra lightsource apart from the LED light. As u can see that you usually get more blue when you take picture with LED and it is bcz our sensors seem to obtain more blue than any other colours. Therefore, I setup some pink to overcome blue and force blue to work at a certain value so that we can have a balance in colours with the LED. I havent check it carefully but some friends have helped me out and they said it is fine. I'm looking for your respond
So these are still the pre-defined colour profile I setup for you after many tests. Thanks to Edux and Power_Vano who have helped me with this.
Why there is a job for us?
Of course there is. As you know that there are so many zoom step at an EV value (zoom 1.0-4.0). So, there are some zoom left which you can
set up your own colour profile
How can I settup my own colour profile
While we are waiting for raiderski's software, you can edit my driver and setup your own colour profile:
Here is the instruction:
**Open my driver in notepad
**Search for WB_SET_4: you will see like this
WB_SET_4= ; between '=' and ';' there is a space where you can setup your own profile
What can I settup
You can settup: Colours - Saturation (cid36/w810i) - Sharpness (cid36/810i) -brightness - contrast
+++ Saturation: #CMD(58,**) where ** is the value you want
+++ Sharpness: #CMD(56,**)
+++ Contrast: #CMD(55,**)
+++ Brighness #CMD(54,**)
+++ Colours: You can only add 1 or 2 extra colours so that you will have enriched colours. There are only 4 colours you can set up now: Magenta - Blue - Green - Yellow
-------Yellow/Blue: #SET(21,**) where **: yellow-00~7F-the bigger, the more yellow/ blue -ff~80- the smaller, the more blue
-------Green/Magenta: #Set(20,**) where **: (00~7F)green (ff~80)magenta or red
-------You can add 1 extra or a combination of Yellow+Green: Forest/desert/sand; Yellow + Magenta: good ; Blue+Green: for beach,forest(trees)+sky... ; and Blue+Magenta: good
Examples
I would like to create a profile with: contrast=02, colour: blue+green sharpness=05
Here is the code:
WB_SET_4= #CMD(11,00) #CMD(55,02) #CMD(56,05) #SET(21,F5) #SET(20,3f) #CMD(13,01) ;
When you setup colours, you need #CMD(11,00) and #CMD(13,01)
What else should I do?
Yes. You need to put WB_SET_4 to SET_PROFILE:
The Set_Profile will have a structure like this:
SET_PROFILE=$b6 00 4 1 #CMD(04,00)
$c0 0a
....
#WB_SET
$cl
$c0 0b
$s0 0b #CC_GREEN
$s0 0b #CC_MAGENTA
.....
#DF_SETTING
$s0 10 #SET_WB_LL(21) Raiderski's profile
$cl
$c0 0c
......
$s0 0c #SCENE
$s0 0c #SET_PROFILE
#DF_SETTING
#WB_SET_** [** - Here is the place you replace my profile with your profile]
$cl.. $cx...$cx;
With my current code, there are 4 setup profile (1.0-1.3) If you want to add new profile, then add
$cl
$c0 0*
$s0 0* #CC_GREEN
$s0 0* #CC_MAGENTA
$s0 0* #CC_BLUE
$s0 0* #CC_YELLOW
$s0 0* #CHANGE_ZOOM
$s0 0* #ISO
$s0 0* #CHANGE_FOCUS
$s0 0* #SET_EXPOSURE
$s0 0* #SPOT_ON
$s0 0* #SHUTTERSPEED
$s0 0* #SHUTTER_ISO
$s0 0* #SCENE
$s0 0* #SET_PROFILE
#DF_SETTING
#WB_SET_**
Between #WB_SET_** from the previous profile and $cx $cx... Every time when you add a new profile,
remember to add 1 more $cx at the end to complete the command
This sound complicated but it is easy when you do it. Hope you enjoy it.
