Hi, I want to make Manual Focus work with EV +/- (joystick) on "Infinity" selection, everything else I want from original driver.
Can anyone help me? What code to use?



Here you can download the driver.

there is a bug though, you can't change EV in normal focus mode, if you want to use normal auto focus, for changing EV go to macro, change EV and then back to normal.

sade.. erm.. my quest might be noob coz i stil nt totally understand wad is ev.. ok here is it.. hw come when i adjust the ev from 00 to +2.0 or to -2.0 i cant see da changes?



When you open the camera and set manual settings to EV, it'll control both shutter speed and ISO. when you change ISO and then back to EV, it'll control shutter speed. when you change shutter speed and then back to EV, it'll control ISO.

sometimes there is a limit, for example if you open the camera in a dark room, set settings to EV and scenes to twilight landscape, then camera will choose 1/2sec shutter speed and ISO100, now if you change EV to -2.0, shutter speed and ISO will remain the same.


This is my current camdriver, i only changed color correction to sharpness.

why is it very grainy with shutter speed >=1.7 for any ISO?



with original camdriver, minimum shutter speed is 1/2sec, but we can get slower shutter speeds, the problem is that it'll be grainy, it's noise, so i fixed ISO to 100 in manual shutter speed, but still it's noisy. 1.7 is 1sec and 2.0 is 2sec (in twilight scenes). slower shutter speed = more noise


some links about noise and noise-reduction:


Dark frame subtraction

(although these are about CCD, these can be applied to CMOS too)





Here is a free tool for dark frame subtraction: blackframe by Mediachance

link to the webpage


example: 1sec exposure with K550i@W610i :



original pic
dark frame
result


note1: take dark frame pic with exactly same settings that you took actual pic
note2: use this method just for shutter speed > 1/2sec

@stevensteady:

Why you're always using spot metering mode? those pics are over exposed, try manual shutter speed.

No it isn't possible to make image stabilization, it's useless btw. real image stabilization is hardware based (sensor shift + gyro processor).

Because +2 is for infinity, that means all things from ~5 meter to infinity will be in focus, but if +1.3 is more clear, your subject is in 2-4 meter range.


ur cam driver was da best..




Thank you!
