1.0 Release – Camera Capture with Live Preview
This is a picture of a very happy person…
That’s my Camera Capture application in action! I started from the built in Microsoft SDK sample and added the live preview. This is a big first step towards introducing the functionality to Fennec. I have zipped up all the code which can be found here. Also see the gallery for a few other shots: Ted wanted a picture of the code that lets me takes pictures and Mike wanted a picture of my blog within a picture of my blog, in order to create a singularity that would implode the blogsphere (however I believe I have failed him – sorry Mike!). Finally the last image is a picture of my car from the window, this is the image captured after tapping ‘Take a still image’.
This concludes my DPS911 course work, however I have managed to land myself an internship this summer at Mozilla! So that means I’ll be taking all my work this term further and starting new and exciting things for Fennec, so stay tuned!

What, you can’t appreciate a bit of meta-ness?
Good work!

How do I set the resolution for the still image?
I don’t want it to be as small as the video frame of the live preview

Jeanette,
The code currently just takes a frame of the live preview, as such it is limited to the resoultion of the live preview. You’ll need to use directdraw to get access to the full image, however I don’t have the code handy. If you need some help let me know.

Hey ND,
Congrats on the wedding. Cool pics.
I actually managed to use your code and set the resolution I want.
I have another question. I would like to use the Graph class via MFC. How would you suggest I should do that?
