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) REMEMBER! since v6.4 both modes are not fixed to ISO100 only. you can use them with manual ISO function! * other AE = autoexposure WB = white balance - 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, separate colors saturation for flash - 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 some seconds 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! -2.0 | balance cyan - red -1.7 | balance yellow - blue -1.3 | balance orange - light blue -1.0 | Custom White Balance -0.7 | contrast -0.3 | colors saturation 0.0 | focus +0.3 | EV compensation +0.7 | shutter speed fast +1.0 | shutter speed slow +1.3 | ISO +1.7 | zoom +2.0 | AE lock * list of all supported functions name | value ---------------------+-------- | brightness | 0 = default 1 = neutral 16 = max contrast | 0 = default 1 = min 6 = neutral 14 = max colors saturation | 0 = default 1 = neutral 2 = grayscale 30 = max sharpness | 0 = default 1 = min 10 = max | focus | 0 = auto 1 = infinity 2 = far 30 = near | zoom | 0 = x1.0 30 = max | EV compensation | 0 = default 1 = -2.0 7 = 0.0 13 = +2.0 AE lock | 0 = unlock 1 = lock | color cyan | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color red | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color yellow | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color blue | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color green | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color magenta | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color orange | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max color light blue | 0 = neutral 1 = min 30 = max | cyan - red | 0 = neutral 1 - 15 = cyan 16 - 30 = red yellow - blue | 0 = neutral 1 - 15 = yellow 16 - 30 = blue magenta - green | 0 = neutral 1 - 15 = magenta 16 - 30 = green orange - light blue | 0 = neutral 1 - 15 = orange 16 - 30 = light blue | Custom White Balance | 0 = default 1 = start 2 = lock | ISO sensitivity | ---------------------+ 0 | auto 1 | 100 2 | 125 3 | 160 4 | 200 5 | 250 6 | 320 7 | 400 8 | 500 9 | 640 10 | 800 11 | 1000 12 | 1250 13 | 1600 | shutter speed | fast | slow | with flash ---------------------+---------+---------+--------------+-------+----------------------+ 0 | auto | +-------------------+--------------+---------------+--------------+ | manual ISO | auto ISO | manual ISO | auto ISO | +---------+---------+--------------+-------+-------+--------------+ 1 | SEM - | SEM + | SEM ISO100 | SEM - | SEM + | SEM ISO100 | 2 | EM - | EM + | EM ISO100 | | | ISO200 | +---------+---------+--------------+-------+-------+--------------+ | - = exposure time - ISO | balance of picture quality (higher ISO = lower exposure time) | + = exposure time + ISO | both parameters used together +------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 | 1/6400 | 1/8 4 | 1/5000 | 1/6 5 | 1/3200 | 1/5 6 | 1/2500 | 1/4 7 | 1/2000 | 1/3 8 | 1/1600 | 2/5 9 | 1/1250 | 1/2 10 | 1/1000 | 3/5 11 | 1/800 | 3/4 * = because of firmware issue EXIF shows reversed value 12 | 1/640 | 1 13 | 1/500 | 4/3 * 14 | 1/400 | 5/3 * 15 | 1/320 | 2 16 | 1/250 17 | 1/200 18 | 1/160 19 | 1/125 20 | 1/100 21 | 1/80 22 | 1/60 23 | 1/50 24 | 1/40 25 | 1/30 26 | 1/25 27 | 1/20 28 | 1/15 29 | 1/13 30 | 1/10
