mobian, pinephone camera, and megapixels

[dawg161]

...
Although the image in the viewer looks distorted and off color, the resulting photos are decent. 
...

If you exit megapixels and restart it, or swap to the front camera and then back to the rear camera then the viewfinder distortion is eliminated.

sudo apt-get install dcraw imagemagick

You should also install exiftool to get more exif data in your final image

Code:

sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl

One thing that still puzzles me though is whether the autofocus is working as well as it could. While the clicking during boot is allegedly related to the autofocus firmware loading and sometimes it seems in my viewfinder the image has re-focussed, my logfile has messages that are less supportive:

PHP Code:

$ dmesg | grep focus
[ 1125.665748] ov5640 4-004c: ov5640_set_ctrl_focus: no autofocus firmware loaded
[ 1134.913821] ov5640 4-004c: ov5640_set_ctrl_focus: no autofocus firmware loaded 


Thank you, all of that helped. I’m glad to have the exif data!
