Hi
I have some questions for Camera API maintainers.
I found that Camera API doesn't provide way to set viewfinder resolution or
preview image resolution. Do you have any plans to add support for these
features? We need these features for reference camera application which I am
implementing for meego handset platform. I thought that maybe I could add
support for these features by myself.
My plan is following:
1. add new methods to QCameraImageCapture for setting preview image resolution
and viewfinder resolution:
QImageEncoderSettings previewSettings() const;
void setPreviewSettings(const QImageEncoderSettings& settings);
QVideoEncoderSettings viewfinderSettings() const;
void setViewfinderSettings(const QVideoEncoderSettings& settings);
2. Implement QMediaControl plugins QCameraViewfinderControl and
QCameraViewfinderControl. These are used to transfer preview image and
viewfinder settings to camera backend.
3. Modify CameraBinSession to set preview and viewfinder caps to camerabin.
I am able to implement support for camerabin backend only. In case of other
backends(s60, mediacapture) setPreviewSettings() and setViewfinderSettings()
would do nothing. Is that a problem? If I implement this change and make a
submit request will it be accepted? We need to resolve this problem somehow for
MeeGo handset camera UI and I thought that with same effort I could make
general solution for this. If API change required by this is not acceptable we
have to consider to implement some kind of meego only solution which doesn't
change public API.
Any comments are welcome, especially from Camera API maintainers :)
Br,
Joonas
