Has anyone noticed that the camera preview image field of view is
slightly smaller than the captured image? That is, if, using the
capture application I align the top of the camera preview with some
object in the scene, and then capture, the captured image will extend
noticeably outside the preview.
It appears that, probably, the area of the image sensor where the
image is captured for still photography extends outside the area where
the image is captured for live display.
This would not in itself be a problem but it leads to an issue when I
write an app that overlays the preview with other graphics, for
example a viewfinder window. When the viewfinder is lined up with the
object to be captured in the preview, it will be offset from the
correct position in the still image -- and the viewfinder window will
appear in the incorrect, offset, position in the still frame that is
automatically shown after capture.
This means that it doesn't appear to be possible to give the user
decent positioning guidance near the edge of the preview image. The
offset between the preview image and the still image is at least 10
pixels there.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this problem?
