Heres the read me file:

Do we just copy these files directly to the phone? which part should we copy it in?

This is for developers and should be actually posted in C++ forum...
Nice job anyway, thanks for camera Api, I might use it... so maybe you get one copy of a nice product 😊

API: Application programing(or protocol do not remember) interface. It is used by developers and gives them direct access to the hardware. So the good news is that we may see 3rd party programs using the camera sth that was impossible before because se has not released one. maybe a future video recorder will use this api.

I expect a Video Recorder application in my inbox by monday morning 😃 😃 😃 😉 😃

dont know how it works, but i think its some programm thing for codewarrior or c++ programming.

i have only found it in the my-symbian forum.

maybe some programmer will release a video recorder software soon 😊

muh

LOLz.. How I use I'm good at programming and such. :P

If you are good at programming you will figure it out yourself 😃

I think this is the right place for such a message, I mean this API could be very good news.

Perhaps it would now be possible for the developers of CameraFX, to make a P800 version!!!!

And perhaps there will be some videorecording apps in the near future as well. Can't wait for both......

Haha.. Typo, it should be "How I WISH I'm good at programming and such" 😮ops: 😃

Whatever! 8)

Salve!

Now we have the possibility to see the cam at its full potential.
Because we can make picures without compression!!! The build-in
camera tool does always compress your pictures, whether you use
'high quality' or not. Saving pictures straight from the cam, without
compression, is an nice option. Well, know you can apply your own
compression algorithm (even better than jpeg), like the wavelet
compression (jpeg2000).
