@Akshay,
This update is much better than your previous version, but still it lacks something.
Mate, the sharpness@16 stuff simply doesn't seem to work for me (fine mode, auto WB) - interestingly enough, the thumbnails seem a lot sharper, but the image seems softer than before.
Also, the Focus mode = full range seems to work in the reverse manner - while in Macro mode, I can focus on objects far away, and they come out sharp (smart, saves u the agony of a missed shot especially when u forget to turn off the macro). but it doesn't seem to work the other way round.
BTW, is it possible to increase the contrast in-camera?

rocky, the steps down in exposure are helpful, but don't fully compensate for the glare affect from the w900 hybrid. Plus enforce too low exposures than you may like for a given image.

yep the hybrids are getting better all the time..
That last one seems to have slightly better white balance handling than previous.

This new driver is too soft, not even close to sharp. Camed back to modifed JPEG compression driver it's much better, check this out.

Updated Version of 6.0 I have changed camera version to 1.4 to not confuse and the Vendor will be Aksd if you notice in the cam.
Changes:
1. Sharpness set to 1
2. COntrast increased form 0 to 1
3. Added effect of brightness to 0 to compensate for over exposure
4. Exposure algorithm taken from W900
4. Brightness adjustment on UI has been converted to Exposure
5. Spot phtometry enabled
6. Compression = 94%(5e) and with MXE its 85%
Note: The driver WILL over exposure due to SPot Photometry...use the exposure adjustment to fine tune your picture

Great work aksd. I updated my post with sharpness, looks ok now.
There is a bug in Your new driver, looks like exposure setting doesn't work at all now :/

This could be way off the mark - but I thought spot photometry was to improve the look of an image. I find it hard to reason why this is suddenly causing over-exposure in our images.
Ideally, I think I'd like a driver that has great quality (which we're all aiming at), but will ultimately take care of itself, without the continual adjustment to brightness/exposure.

One big, bad, bug that is...(the exposure bug)
That besides, the time taken to save a picture to the MSPD also seems to have slowed down in all the updates today, or is it just me?

@ Jasond,
Spot photometry doesn't make a picture look better.
The function of "metering" is to evaluate the required exposure depending on the brightness at different point. There are several metering options like average, centre-average, multi-segment and spot.
Spot metering determines the overall brightness of an image by evaluating a particular point (in this case, the exact centre of the viewfinder).
So, if the "spot", i.e. the center of the viewfinder points to a darker part of the scene, it will cause a longer exposure, and if the centre points to a bright part of the scene, it will cause under exposure.
Usually, in digicams, the focus-lock also locks the exposure, once we select an exposure, it won't change untill we release the shutter. But this's not the case with the K750, and only the focus remains locked in the K750, while exposure changes based on the scene.
Hope that made it clear.

ok heres one with spot siwtched off and exposure setting working:
http://rapidshare.de/files/24359592/camdriver0.dat.html
The time taken to save is much longer since compression is much less.....if you use the Normal setting instead of fineyour time taken will be less.....let me figure something out with the Normal setting...will try and reduce compression but keep the saving time shorter/ |

Yeah that's great, thanks.
I too have noticed that exposure will not sit when the shutter is half pressed.
It's a shame there's not some way to either:
- set the driver to fix exposure as well as focus when the shutter button is partially pressed, or
- set spot photometry to take into account the entire image and not just the central spot.
