NOTE: Versions 0.9.5 and above are available in the sailfishos:chum repository

Advanced Camera (aka piggz-o-vision) is a community camera application for sailfish devices which utilises the latest features in 3.0.2 to query/set parameters supported by the device.

Allows full control over:

  • Effects
  • Exposure/scene modes
  • Focus mode
  • Resolution
  • White Balance
  • Flash mode
  • ISO

Currently selected parameters are displayed on the buttons where possible.

Tapping the screen sets the focus circle when in Auto/Macro/Continuous

Hold the shutter button to focus and take an image when in Auto/Macro/Continuous focus mode, other modes take an instant image.

Exposure mode will typically provide a HDR mode for taking HDR images.

Known Issues:

  • XA2 cant take HDR photos, this will be fixed in a future SFOS-X release

Excellent app. Getting better results from this than from the stock app on Xperia X. However, when running the app I can occasionally hear loud clicks from my speaker every few seconds. Doesn't happen all the time but it's noticeable when it does.

Not working on my Xperia X Compact 3.0.2.8. Tried pkcon refresh, no result. Advanced Camera starts, switch to horizontal mode and than app crashed and kick me to launcher screen.

Read app description, especially chapters Known issues and Workarounds.

emchella's picture

done. fine! thank you !

After pkcon refresh and your workaround it works on Jolla 1.
If it would be possible please add option to adjust shutter speed. If it isn't, this camera app is great and light years ahead of what we previously had on Sailfish

Thanks - a pkcon refresh sorts the install issues I had.

The screenorientation is not implemented correctly for XperiaX. Otherwise the first pics look good. Thnx.

installation via Storeman fails due to missing packet android-hal-...rpm on my xa2+ with SFOS 3.0.2.8. Any hint how to fix this?

piggz's picture

maybe a pkcon refresh needed?

Hi.

pkcon refresh solved the issue with the installation
Thanks

Thanks, David.

Have you manually installed the rpm from build.merproject.org? If so, remove it first before installing the version via storeman. Had the same issue.

Historyscholar's picture

Me too

JacekJagosz's picture

Are you on Jolla 1? I get the same error, but he even states in the known bugs, that it doesn't work on Jolla 1.
But still, I would like to know why, 32bit architecture maybe

emchella's picture
