#1 Hi,



as I like the autofocus on the pre3 but was quite dissappointed that it did not focus in video recording mode I wrote a little patch that worked so good that I thought, hey just make it a proper full functional patch which allows to switch between manual and automatic focus. (AF_INFINITY and AF_CONT).

From modern camera apps in android, bb10 and iOS I knew there is also the possibility to manual focus a specific part of the image to bring it in the foreground or simple to switch between foreground and background focusing.

Luckily this is also already implemented for the Pre3 for image capturing. So I just enabled this also for video capturing as it makes sense there too.



I hope you like it.

For the patch to work successfully and showing a nice button to switch between AF (Auto Focus == AF_CONT) and MF (Manual Focus == AF_INFINITY) I also created some nice buttons.

Notice that this patch also includes the "Video Camera Flashlight" Patch as I inteded to unify the best patches for the camera so far. This means the patch depends on the systoolsmgr service.



Here some demonstration videos:







It would be nice if someone could package this up and upload it to preware if it is allowed and wanted.

This patch was tested and created on a Pre3 using WebOS 2.2.4 . As the Pre3 is the only WebOS Phone shipping with a autofocus camera it only works with the Pre3. Attached Images autofocus-buttons.png (23.5 KB, 58 views) Attached Files cameraAdvanced.patch (7.4 KB, 41 views)
