Description Tim Samoff (reporter) maemo.org

2009-10-21 22:03:07 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
41-10

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
1. Open Camera app
2. Zoom

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Zoom is smooth (especially for video).

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Zoom is choppy and jerky.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always.

OTHER COMMENTS:
Even if the zoom remains "choppy" (i.e., not silky smooth), I would expect that
it zooms at the same rate all the way in. Currently, if you hold the zoom
button down, it zooms a few increments and then stutters, then zooms a few more
and stutters, etc. Just improving that (without making it complete smooth)
would be a big improvement.

The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for

I'm sorry, but this is not fixed. Unless it's a WONTFIX. We need some
verification on the ultimate functionality.

Re Comment 3:
"I've checked and it is true that in video mode there are some jumps.
Still, the zoom bar is smooth so I really think the problem is in the
performance of the GStreamer side. In Camera-UI we tweaked the zoom steps size
to make it smoother and it is right now, GStreamer is responding slower.
Because of this, I recommend to open a new bug in which to track this issue."
