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

Any ideas if the multi camera could work with Xperia 10 Plus?
When I press the button, it only changes between front and main camera, it does look like its trying something for while (black screen with 320x240 resolution for 1-2 seconds). Would be nice to get that Tele lens working....

I am wondering if exposure compensation is available in this great camera app, running on a Xperia 10 ii? Stock camera does offer it, but so far I failed to find a related setting in advanced camera. Any idea?

Hi, just realized, I was trying 8.0, the last version 8.1 is handeling good the three rear cameras, but still failing switching for the front camera. Thanks a lot for this big improvement!

zipotron's picture

After pushing the "change camera" button non any camera is working anymore, not even after restarting the app... I am using a Xperia 10 II

piggz's picture

Which version?

zipotron's picture

Is 4.1.0.23 version. Switch to rear/ front cameras was doing the same behavior in the last version of Advanced-camera

Front camera is not working on Xperia XA2 SailfishOS 4.1 version.

unmaintained's picture

The cameraId has changed from a string (primary, secondary) to an integer allowing to accommodate for devices with more than two cameras.

I've hacked piggz-o-vision to allow for all 4 cameras to be used on my Xperia 10II, maybe this also fixes it for XA2.
Details under: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/xperia-10-ii-sfos/264/445

What I meant was: could you maybe rebuild the app with this hack implemented plz?

apozaf's picture

Can you rebuild it for Storeman?

piggz's picture

I already have a PR for 4.1, though, its a breaking change, so wont work on 4.0.  It also has issues that should be fixed in 4.2.  I will make a build of it available soon.

unmaintained's picture

Thank you, Version 0.8.1 fixes the issues with the three main cameras on Xperia 10 II

peperjohnny's picture

Hey piggz, would it be possible for you to rebuild the app with aarch64 for the 64bit devices?

Malakay's picture

Hey Piggz, I was just wondering - could be possible to make a webcam app, or an Advanced camera feature, which will make a webcam from my SFOS equipped phone? I mean something like Droidcam for Android :) Maybe it could use Droidcam on PC side and native app on SFOS side.

two new bugs in sailfish 4.0.1.48:
1) camera hardware button doesnt work
2) sharing from the builtin image viewer shows empty contacts (so you cannot send MMS from adv-camera, you have to use gallery app)

piggz's picture

on 2, i bet thats the new Jail...

robthebold's picture

I'm seeing the no contacts thing, too. SFOS 4.1.0.24, Advanced Camera 0.8.1-1.4. I can enter a number manually and MMS a picture fine. (Sharing from Jolla Gallery still works with MMS as expected.)  Is "jail" the new sandboxing thing? I guess that does keep rogue apps from snooping on stuff they shouldn't . . .

I like the new "choose main camera" thing on the 10 II. Thanks! I've used it already.

It'd be neat to also be able to switch between the selfie cams on the XA2 Ultra. No rush, though, since my device is cranky about rebooting periodically. My bad for buying used . . .

Thanks again.

Hi Adam, on my device (XZ2) the ISO control button is missing. Does that mean that the camera driver doesn't support the ISO setting?

piggz's picture

Correct, it means ISO settings arnt exposed by your camera stack, which i beleive is getting more common on newer devices.

Front camera not working

Firefox84's picture

What in my opinion is missing, but probably is really easy to implement would be camera sound for taking pictures. Maybe with an option to turn it off, for situations were it might disturb. The original camera app has this sound, and i find it pratical to know when a picture has been taken. Thanks really much Piggz!

Possible add watermark function? Text or image

predator2019's picture

Basically a phantastic app, thank You. A little feature request: Changing the destination where the images where saved (e.g. SD Card) would be very usefull.

I think the metadata is missing the time and date, when the images are captured. So when I copy the images to the SD Card the time and date stamp changed to the current date (when I copied them), so they were sorted in the gallery app wrongly. This could be a good fix.

Dear Piggz,
After starting the program there is just a white screen.

alex000090's picture

At the consol running there is error "module Nemo.KeepAlive version 1.2 is not installed"

alex000090's picture

I've installed previos version (0.6.1) - there is no problem with its work.

piggz's picture

Do you have libkeepalive installed?

slava's picture

FYI, this provides roughtly the same functionality as DisplayBlanking in Nemo.Keepalive:

https://github.com/monich/harbour-lib/blob/master/include/HarbourDisplay...

I'm using it in my Harbour apps to avoid dependencies on specific Nemo.Keepalive version installed (or not installed) on the device.

mbf_jolla's picture

Hello. Awesome app, thank you! Do you think it might be possible to add a timelapse function? I used to rely on https://openrepos.net/content/lightx2/timelapse but it has not been updated anymore. Thanks!
