no

does this mean that the scenes have the same settings like the original (stock) driver?

Here are 3 photos by me:
CWB + balance yellow/blue and infinity focus (still don't like the result still a bit warm)

same settings:

CWB + better setted balance yellow/blue=

The last image looks so good on phone so real colors.

which part of it?


Sony Ericsson K790/K800/K810 modded camera driver by Raider
-----------------------------------------------------------
homepage: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=170579


* supermode functionality

supermode is different approach to manage camera parameters by attached additional
functionality layer which is not available in original driver. this may sound as complication
but in skilled hands can be a great solution. function offers to you manual control over
selected camera parameter - you can set specific value or bring back automatic state of
parameter if you changed your mind. thanks to additional functionality layer the phone is more
like digital camera, not just a simple camera phone

when you open the camera it is in fine tuned automatic mode which means that:

1. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE functions, use them only if you want
2. camera is still good POINT & SHOOT solution
3. all parameters are automatic unless some of them won't be changed manually

how to use?

1. to select function you have to use joystick left/right (phone in horizontal position).
functions are connected to EV positions (steps from -2.0 to +2.0) you can find list of
all positions below. notice that original EV functionality is now a supermode function at
position +0.3

in simple way you can reorganize functions to different EV positions!

2. use zoom +/- or 3/6 keys to alter value of selected function
you can use values from 0 to 30

value 0 for all functions is like command "go to auto/neutral/default mode" which means
that all changes in selected function will be cancelled. some functions can use all 30
values while other functions can use much less range


* special modes for low light conditions

- short enhanced mode (SEM)
- enhanced mode (EM)

this modes are special modes which can dramatically improve picture quality in low light or
even in very bad light conditions. how? algorithm will calculate how long must be exposure
time to achieve the best visual effect for ISO100 sensitivity. the only thing which you have
to do is to hold the camera still in your hand or put the camera on stable base to avoid blur.
SEM is faster version of EM but cannot see as much details as EM can

meaning of this modes used together with flash is a bit different. SEM is ISO100 mode while
EM is ISO200 mode. they can be used to improve portrait photos (better tones and details)


* other

- color balance functions: cyan - red, yellow - blue
notice that those two functions can be used separate

- combined color balance functions: green - magenta, orange - light blue
- manual focus close-up preview on/off on demand (half press and release)
- manual shutter speed and ISO realtime preview on/off on demand (half press and release)
- AE lock function, now you can do AE lock even if focus infinity is selected in
camera menu or by landscape scene

- increased sharpness, max sharpness for macro focus
- increased a bit colors saturation
- ISO100 for focus macro
- increased max jpeg quality: normal = 80%, fine = 91%, BestPic = 89%
- increased video frames per second: normal = 24, night = 10
notice that high fps will make zoom keys much less responsive!

- forced flash on red eye reduction (RER) option
- easy to use Custom White Balance function
* point camera at all white surface (use auto WB)
* start Custom WB and wait a little for colors stabilization
* lock WB


* functions

EV positions and connected to them functions. you don't like it?
in simple way you can reorganize functions to different EV positions!

other -> increased sharpness, colors saturation...
all this refers to driver as all. I don't need stock settings here, they are weak enough to not use them

Why is the sharpness helpful..

I mean, why can we chose between 1-10 when 10 is the best choice?
if 10 is the max, why do we need lower options?

why do you think 10 is the best?? there where a lot of camdrivers with sharpness at max but sometimes the pictures weren´t so good thanks to the sharpness. i think that having the option to choose this is great...and if want to want more sharpness,edit the camdriver file and modify it...

You're right. but when i change the scale from 1-10 I can't see any change..
So how should I know when to use 5 or 6 or 2 or 10 if I can't see a damn change?

Raiderski

You may add to customization section the following:

1. The XENON_SS values (maybe people don't know it).
2. A default value for saturation only for flash pics (very useful IMO)

* A cool thing I noticed: when putting XENON_SS_SHORT at 1/6400, the shutter speed is finely adjusted even for forced flash pics at daylight. So only it's needed to adjust the ISO.

Cheers
