Hello, this is what i was searching for!
But I have one problem, it doesn't work with my n85. I start the hdr_viewfinder.py and it seems like it works, with left and right i can set another exposure compensation, can change the flash-option, quality, ISO and so on. But if I try to make a picture it doesn't work with any key, python doesn't crash, my mobile only doesn't respond with any key. The ISO-Setting is in red font, maybe that has something to do with the problem.
Would be great if someone can help me!

PyCamLib needs to be installed to the internal memory, unless you modify one of the installed scripts in C:\RESOURCE.

I’ve put together a script (tested on N95) that will take pictures over a variety of exposure compensations with a single button press, based on one of the scripts that comes with PyCamLib.

It’s available at http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79513

I just found a new Python Camlib which should do the trick.

I’ve given it a try with Python but there doesn’t seem to be access to the exposure settings. I can switch from Landscape to Fluorescent, take sequential pics and so on.

But that doesn’t quite solve the problem

Hey nice post,

Yes i too think bracketing can be added to camera firmware. I have Nokia N73. I have created timelapse movie using python script. Maybe sumone can write a script for HDR so that we can take photos at different exposures using sequence mode. Rest Photomatix can do

Can anyone try ?

@Gustokonyan

The process doesn’t require shooting to RAW, although it is recommended by every other hdr guide there is. N-Series cameras are limited by the jpg format, but they can still shoot hdr.

I haven’t updated to Photoshop CS3, but making an hdr in CS2 worked for me.

I use Photomatix since it is an easier process.

Is it possible on nokia smartphones? cant do hdr images on my n82. the process requires raw images right? your jpeg files with different exposures will not work as an hdr image on adobe cs3. or is it possible on some other way/s? thanks

@Marcus

I think definitely think bracketing could be added to the camera software. But I think combining and tone mapping are better suited for a regular computer, since the processing power is much larger compared to a mobile processor.

hi,many many thanks for ur post.here i would like to suggest another software.Photo acute mobile for mobile apps and photo acute studio for pc apps. photoacute mobile does the same things as described but within the mobile phone.the pc apps has more better facilities.

@Maciek nice pic! @Marcus I agree that would be cool. Less work for us too.

Atleast if the first two steps are done in the phone automatically,that’d be really cool!

By: Marcus Groeber

Now how cool would it be to have all that done entirely on the phone?

– Five-second self timer
– Take three exposure-bracketed shots in quick succession
– Combine them into an HDR image
– Apply tone mapping

In my view, this would be a real demonstration that phones like the N82 are about to be “what cameras have become”.

ciao marcus

Mark, HDR is really cool. I’ve tried it back in October during my trio to Poland… results below.
