changelog
———
6.0 [2008-01-31] prototype v2
6.1 [2008-02-05 - 2008-05-24] beta versions
– a lot of changes
– new features
6.1 [2008-05-29] public release
– fixed very long delay and jpeg corruption when slow shutter speed was used
– ISO function (common for normal and flash)
– reduced delays between next steps during changes of function value
– manual shutter speed realtime preview on demand can be disabled (default: enabled)
6.1.1 [2008-05-31]
– fixed problem with manual ISO and flash (low ISO = no flash, high ISO = flash)
from now ISO changes are not visible in realtime on viewfinder
use realtime preview on/off on demand (half press and release)
manual ISO and manual shutter speed are visible together on preview!
– fixed problem with manual shutter speed and flash (two shots, should be once)
– a bit longer exposure time for short enhanced mode (SEM)
– shorter exposure time for photos with enhanced mode and flash
– fixed no zoom in video mode
– max sharpness for manual focus close-up preview
disabling image smoothness (fox max sharp effect) is still impossible
6.1.2 [2008-06-10]
– manual focus preview close-up reduced from x4.9 to x4.0
– flash shots with manual shutter speed have ISO200 (not 400)
– fixed loss of manual shutter speed after flash state switching (on, off, RER)
– fixed no exposure compensation (EV, joy left/right) in video mode
– fixed autofocus lock after stopping focus process when camera is trying to use flash
with enabled enhanced mode
– fixed wrong flash ISO value (is 100, should be 400) for auto shutter speed shots if
previously was used enhanced mode with flash
6.2 [2008-06-18]
– fixed all exposure issues known from previous version
– fixed small issue in SEM and EM calculations
– fixed camera crash if user returns to focus 0 (auto) when focus preview is enabled
– fixed no focus LED light in video mode with enabled image stabilization
– removed all previews on demand (half press and release) in video mode and BestPic
– small improvement in the core of supermode control
– driver becomes supermode only. there is no possibility to turn off functions and use
driver with standard functionality only
– focus LED light is active in manual focus preview if amount of light is low
– red eye reduction (RER) is forcing flash no matter of light conditions
– remembering the position (value) on zoom bar for focus, shutter speed and ISO
– limited selection of value on zoom bar to avoid crossing max value. solution for
parameters which aren’t using whole zoom bar range (30 steps) to reach max value
– flash shots with enhanced mode (EM) have ISO200 now
no changes for short enhanced mode (SEM) with flash which is still ISO100 mode
– solved conflict between previews (focus, shutter speed and ISO) on demand
* selected EV position of manual focus = focus preview is switchable
* selected other EV position = shutter speed and ISO preview is switchable
features
——–
* supermode functionality
supermode is different approach to manage camera parameters by attached additional
functionality layer which is not available in original driver. this may sound as complication
but in skilled hands can be a great solution. function offers to you manual control over
selected camera parameter – you can set specific value or bring back automatic state of
parameter if you changed your mind. thanks to additional functionality layer the phone is more
like digital camera, not just a simple camera phone
when you open the camera it is in fine tuned automatic mode which means that:
1. YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE functions, use them only if you want
2. camera is still good POINT & SHOOT solution
3. all parameters are automatic unless some of them won’t be changed manually
how to use?
1. to select function you have to use joystick left/right (phone in horizontal position).
functions are connected to EV positions (steps from -2.0 to +2.0) you can find list of
all positions below. notice that original EV functionality is now a supermode function at
position +0.3
in simple way you can reorganize functions to different EV positions!
2. use zoom +/- or 3/6 keys to alter value of selected function
you can use values from 0 to 30
value 0 for all functions is like command “go to auto/neutral/default mode” which means
that all changes in selected function will be cancelled. some functions can use all 30
values while other functions can use much less range
* special modes for low light conditions
– short enhanced mode (SEM)
– enhanced mode (EM)
this modes are special modes which can dramatically improve picture quality in low light or
even in very bad light conditions. how? algorithm will calculate how long must be exposure
time to achieve the best visual effect for ISO100 sensitivity. the only thing which you have
to do is to hold the camera still in your hand or put the camera on stable base to avoid blur.
SEM is faster version of EM but cannot see as much details as EM can
meaning of this modes used together with flash is a bit different. SEM is ISO100 mode while
EM is ISO200 mode. they can be used to improve portrait photos (better tones and details)
* one code and simple customizations
there is a lot of things possible to change in code in simple way by user
– jpeg quality for normal, fine and BestPic
– video frame rates for normal and night
– 3 sets of settings (sharpness, contrast, EV compensation and colors saturation) for every
scene type (normal, document and twilight)
– zoom size for photo, video and manual focus preview: x1, x2, x4, x8, x12, x16
– availability of manual shutter speed and ISO realtime preview on demand
* other
– color balance functions: cyan – red, yellow – blue
notice that those two functions can be used separate
– combined color balance functions: green – magenta, orange – light blue
– manual focus close-up preview on/off on demand (half press and release)
– manual shutter speed and ISO realtime preview on/off on demand (half press and release)
– AE lock function, now you can do AE lock even if focus infinity is selected in
camera menu or by landscape scene
– increased sharpness, max sharpness for macro focus
– increased a bit colors saturation
– ISO100 for focus macro
– increased max jpeg quality: normal = 80%, fine = 91%, BestPic = 89%
– increased video frames per second: normal = 24, night = 10
high fps will make zoom keys much less responsive!
– forced flash on red eye reduction (RER) option

Camera driver for Sony Ericsson K790/K800/K810
- The more flexible driver. Without being supermode driver, it has 10 extra modes to suit all light conditions.
- BugFree
- Awesome clear Twilight landscape mode
- Flash photos with freaking smooth noise
- Quick Auto focus
- It’s possible to do macro pics in all scenes (except in landscapes of course)
··· INSTRUCTIONS ···
- Pay attention to special modes explained below
- Flash is forced so you must disable it in most daylight situations (not RER)
- Use Auto + flash RER as the all-round auto mode
··· SPECIAL FLASH MODES (only applied if flash fires) ···
* Auto scene:
1) Flash AUTO: Daylight flash special mode I. Forced flash. For use in portraits at daylight. (1/6400s, Xenon ISO 250).
2) Flash AUTO + MACRO: Daylight flash special mode II. Forced flash. For use in portraits or macros at daylight. (1/6400s, Xenon ISO 100).
3) Flash RER: Party mode I. Flash not forced. (1/30s, Xenon ISO 320)
4) Flash RER + MACRO. Non-document macro mode. Flash not forced. (1/30s, Xenon ISO 100)
* Twilight portrait scene:
1) Flash AUTO: Slow flash sync mode I (1s, Xenon ISO 160). You can use it for macros too.
2) Flash RER: Party mode II. Flash not forced. (1/8s, Xenon ISO 320)
* Portrait scene:
1) Flash AUTO: Slow flash sync mode II (2s, Xenon ISO 100). You can use it for macros too.
2) Flash RER: Party mode III. Flash not forced. (1/2s, Xenon ISO 250)
* Twilight landscape scene: (2s, ISO 100) (max. values). TIP: Reducing EV will reduce exposure time automatically, so you can play with it.
··· SPECIAL NON-FLASH MODES ···
* Auto scene:
1) Flash OFF: Indoor special mode I. (1/7.5s, ISO 320 fixed). Do not use in high light (i.e. daylight landscapes
* Twilight portrait scene:
1) Flash OFF: Indoor special mode II. (1/4s, ISO 250 fixed). Do not use in high light (i.e. daylight landscapes)
Withan™ Camera Driver V3
Rev.1
- Added another indoor mode. Now there’s 2 indoor special modes implemented in property 14, applied only when flash setted to OFF. It’s a real-time switching (like colour/contrast settings for flash).
- Reduced RER flash pics colour from 04 to 03.
Rev.0
- Changed colour values (default is 09, flash is 03)
- Removed all whitebalance auto-settings
- Twilight landscape scene with more colour (07) and sharpness (04). Also with 2 sec exposure.
- Reduced viewfinder fps to 12 for better focusing and less noise keeping quick auto-focus.
- Video is 12 fps -> no BestPic bug
- Default JPEG settings (90%) -> no more crashes, invisible to human eye
- Improved contrast settings in flash pics to make noise less visible
Withan™ Camera Driver S3
- S3 is a variant of Withan™ V3 with no colour gain implemented
Old Ultimate releases: Here
v2.62
- Changed Indoor special mode.
- Reduced Twilight landscape ISO to 160.
v2.6
- Added two new modes and reorganized some for easier use. Read ‘Special modes’ info.
v2.5
- New Daylight flash special mode. It has very high flash shutter speed.
- The 2 seconds slow sync mode has ISO 100 now.
- Removed contrast increase only in Auto flash special mode.
- Twilight landscape colour is reduced a little bit more.
v2.46
- Auto mode + Red Eye Reduction flash is now the real Party mode with 1/30s exposure. When flash is setted to Auto, it is 1/250s for daylight flash pics (FF).
- Reduced colour in Twilight landscape mode to get less noisy pics at some situations like sunshine or sunrise.
v2.44
- Auto mode + macro setted has xenon ISO 100 (thanks to Raiderski for the idea)
- Portrait has tungsten WB by default like Twilight portrait (but only applied when flash needed, on both). This is to reduce the yellow/red background introduced by long exposure in slow sync pics
v2.41
- Standard and Withan versions have colour 01 in flash pics to compensate contrast 01 setting (VividColour remains the same)
- In Twilight landscape mode, sharpness is reduced to 02
v2.39
- Fixed indoor special mode (now really 6 fps, before was 5)
- Flash RER not forced
- In all pics with flash contrast is increased 01
- Doc mode has sharpness 08
v2.35
- Added indoor special mode to Portrait scene (6 fps shutter). Now we have a mode for less noisy indoor pics without flash, but with slower AF of course (with the help from Raiderski, thanks)
v2.3
- Fixed compression, it will not crash anymore (I expect…)
- Auto mode flash pics have 1/80s exposure, so it still can be used for using flash at indoor/daylight to reduce noise. If 1/80 is too dark for you at night just use 1/2s slow sync mode and pic will be ok…
v2.2
- Added full range auto focus (from macro to infinite) to Portrait, Twilight portrait, Sports, and Beach/Snow scenes.
*What does it mean? It’s not necessary to be in macro or document mode, simply focus the near object you want and voilà. The same for infinite objects.
v2.18
- Added another slow sync mode. Resume:
1) Twilight portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 1/2s exposure, xenon ISO 250 (this mode reduces noise drastically)
2) Portrait scene: Slow sync flash with 2s exposure, xenon ISO 125
3) Use Auto mode for common flash pics (1/30s)
*Tip: Slow flash sync mode is very useful for:
i) Making beautiful pics in movement using this technique
ii) Amplify a lot the background light on static flash pics
v2.16
- Twilight portrait mode has Slow Flash Sync: 1/2s exposure time and xenon ISO 250
- All other flash pics have 1/30s exposure time and xenon ISO 320
v2.11
- Fixed the “Document mode first pic with bad ISO” bug (forced flash implemented in another way)
- Added another flavour of the Ultimate Driver: Withan™ (“Where is tha’ noise?”). In Withan™ colour is increased only on pics without flash. Also has 00 (Auto) mode in Twilight portrait, instead of 03 (Party).
v2.1
- Redone JPEG compression with better ratios 4all resolutions
- Reduced exposure and contrast in DOC mode for better pics at nearer distance
- Twilight portrait and Twilight landscape have tungsten (incandescent) white balance by default (red filter), but anyway it can be changed through WB menu
- VividColour™ version has really insane colour now (0b)
v2.0
- Unique Super Twilight landscape mode (1 second max exposure, ISO 200)
- Reduced sharpness slightly (06)
- 1/200 Flash shutter speed, 1/30 in Twilight portrait
v1.14
