I rearrange and add some function for SmartMode..
Every time camera start, all manual setting is off and the value set to default.. I also return the macro focus in Doc scene..
All manual setting only available when you turn it on.. Zoom+ and EV button will change its function..
All manual setting work on all scene.. you can have manual focus in portrait scene and in any scene.. Keep the zoom when switching scene to retain setting.
List of extra function for each scene
- Auto (sharpness)
- Night landscape (exposure lock)
- Night portrait (contrast)
- Landscape (hue)
- Portrait (saturation)
- Beach snow (color temperature)
- Sport (shutter sped)
- Document (focus)
to remove manual setting, set EV to 0.0 , zoom to 100% and then switch to any scene. all manual setting will turned off and returned to default value.
Download camdriver0_1.1a or camdriver0_1.1b
camdriver0_1.1a update manual setting imidiately every time you switching scene while camdriver0_1.1b not. |

Daylight shots are one of the best I have seen
Exposures are accurate
Some Flash shots... I notice even at auto, theres a bit long shutter speed. Some shots are good
But there are times its not and I also notice ISO control either ISO100 doesnt work anymore
There are times long shutter speed are good but long shutter speed are affected by light surrounding also and color production are sometimes affected. Lets say theres too much red ligthing. I think 1/250 speed is still safe. That was just my opinion.
Nice work for this. Daylight shots are uncompaparable based on my initial test.
Regarding the manual settings. You said I have to zoom then If I zoom image will be a little close. hmmmm

scenes still exist... manual setting only work when you activate it..
Regarding the manual settings. You said I have to zoom then If I zoom image will be a little close. hmmmm
after adjusting manual setting, you still can zoom back to 100% before take shot.. 
this manual setting implementation is new, maybe you'll find it a bit unusual..
example use of manual setting..
if you want to adjust shutter speed in Twilight Landscape
- goto Sport scene, zoom, adjust shutter speed
- goto scene Twilight Landscape
- zoom back to 100%
- take your picture
if you want to have manual focus, color temperature and contrast, use this step
- goto scene Document, zoom, adjust focus
- goto scene Beach & snow, adjust color temperature..
- goto scene Twilight Portrait, adjust contrast..
- zoom back to 100%
- take your picture
when adjusting scene, this is when version A & B have difference.. on example above if you use version A and set focus on +2.0 and then switch scene to portait, the saturation will raise too since EV +2.0 is the highest saturation. but if you use version B, the saturation is not changed until you pres EV button again. i'm using version B
you can combine all manual settings with this basic steps..
i hope this example can give you more explanation on the manual settings.
combining manual settings can also create new effect.
i call this one "grayscale cutout", taken with combining Saturation & Solarize
this is "false colour" (witchking name it). taken with combining Hue & Saturation
I notice even at auto, theres a bit long shutter speed. Some shots are good.
yes, i know.. use forced flash for faster shutter speed.
ANother thing how about some .lng file as guide maybe.
right now i can't provide language files, i have very limited pc/laptop acces.. and yesterday my phone's touchkey is going crazy it keep pressing by itself and can't be used..
maybe you can help to create it, i'm sure there is tutorial here somewhere.. just replace scene names like above..

SO If I use B then go to document when I set focus max(+2.0)then I go to portrait then set EV to +1.0 then sharpness +1.3 then I go to Twilight portrait then focus @ +2.0, saturation @ +1.0 and sharpness @ +1.3 still intact? what happens If I use A??
How about Easyshutter?? is it affected?
Here I tried capturing using force flash(RER Mode)
But shutter speed is 1/15s

both keep the manual settings intact... just remember to zoom when switch scene..
in version a, if you set focus -2.0 in doc scene then switch to landscape to adjust hue, the hue value will adjusted to -2.0 instanly..
in version b it is not adjusted until you press EV button.. (i made this version because sometimes i switch to wrong scene and i dont want to keep the change)..

EasyShutter is adjusted based on EV value, when you use +2.0 focus (example) the driver also will read +2.0 for EasyShutter and then you will get slow shutter...
to trick this, after set all manual settings you need, zoom back to 100% then adjust the EV again for exposure (easy shutter).. all is become manual... 
i allready notice this issue when mod the last version and i also think some solution but still need to test.

I have so many night shots right now. By the way shots color are really awesome red is red without being over saturated. Only negative side is the blur due to long shutter. By the way hows the ISO control?I cant control ISO here
It seems that shutter speed also doesn't work. Only the rest works...

Thank you for your great efforts in developing great camdriver.
i have used the one in the first page, i noticed that the size of the picture can reach 3MB. but by using the camdriver0_1.1a the size is smaller. How can this alter the quality of the image? and does the improvments include the quality of video recordings? |
