It does not happen with all my photo's. It seem to occur randomly.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-12-17 02:05:06 UTC
Thanks for reporting this.
For future reference, please always use the bug template.

So this only happens sometimes, and only for photos?
Has this also happened with videos?

If this happens and you take more photos directly after that, does this also
happen for those photos?

If this happens and you reboot and then take a few photos again, does this
happen again?

I haven't had it while making a video (yet). The photoI take right after the
green one is normal.

I noticed that when I make a video in the dark and sweep my hand in front of
it, my hand seem to be green for a split second.

(For future reference, please do not quote the full previous message if not
needed - it makes reading this report harder. Thanks!)
Comment 7 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2009-12-17 14:24:11 UTC
Of course this *might* be some hardware problem, but can you test whether for
example changing the Camera mode or some Capture settings make this not happen
anymore?
Comment 8 Venomrush 2009-12-18 11:36:41 UTC
I noticed the issue in low light condition with flash.

I think that was the case with me too, but I can't reproduce it.
When I slightly press the camera butten, in a dark place with the flash on the
screen is also green. Even though the photo I take at that moment is fine.
Comment 11 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2010-01-11 15:49:29 UTC
This has been fixed in package
kernel 2.6.28-20095102+0m5
which is part of the internal build version
2009.51-13
(Note: 2009 is the year, and the number after is the week.)

A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal
build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public
update.)
Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as
VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time.


To answer popular followup questions:
 * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance.
 * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions.
   A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at
http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
Comment 12 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2010-03-15 20:54:28 UTC
Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the
fix will be available to users).

Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
