1020280 - [Camera][Flame] continuous-auto-focus not working

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Description

[Wilson Page [:wilsonpage]]

STEPS

1. Focus viewfinder on nearby subject
2. Take picture

EXPECTED: Camera should focus subject and picture taken is sharp.
ACTUAL: Focus never changes and picture is blurry.

---

Because flame reports focus as 'continuous-auto' and not 'auto', we don't attempt to call `focus()` before taking a picture.

I thought the possible values for focus were 'infinity', 'auto', 'continuous-video' and 'continuous-picture'. First time I heard about 'continuous-auto'. What is the ETA for having up to date documentation for mozCamera in MDN?

dmarcos: Apologies, I meant 'continuous-picture'. Can you confirm the continuous auto-focus is not working for the flame?

MDN wouldn't have helped here--it looks like the Flame camera library is returning an unexpected (and undocumented at the Android level) value.

Wilson, what is the full range of values returned by capabilities.focusModes?

[ "auto", "infinity", "macro", "continuous-video", "continuous-picture" ]

Where does the 'continuous-auto' value come from, then? Is it the return value from CameraControl.focusMode? If so, this is a bug in the camera library, and POVB.

mikeh: See comment 3.

Comment 8

mikeh: To confirm, we are setting 'continous-picture' as the focus mode, but it appears to not be 'CAFing'.

app.camera.mozCamera.focusMode; //=> "continuous-picture"

From IRC, determined that Wilson is running the v10E basebuild; recommended upgrading to v10G-2.

mikeh has informed me that I'm seeing this bug because my Gonk layer is out of date. As soon as I find a way to update this and test, I will be able to close this issue.

CAF appears working on latest base-build (Gonk) :)
