Description Gary Birkett (reporter) 2009-12-25 01:56:33 UTC 
SOFTWARE VERSION:
42.11

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 

wanting to take photographs at night using camera in macro mode.
flash turned off because it reflects badly at such short range and over
exposes.

the focusing light comes on for a brief period and adjusts the scene giving a
preview showing a reasonable image.

press the shutter button fully...

EXPECTED OUTCOME:

picture is taken using the same lighting that I used to set it up.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:

the light goes off and the picture comes out as a black square.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
10/10 at night

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

OTHER COMMENTS:

this feature would be handled quite reasonably by a manual setting for the
light (an icon in the shape of a torch would be super ;))

a torch icon on the camera ui would serve this purpose really well and perhaps
allow people to use the torch without having to dig into the subsystem and
change the default behaviour of the camera.
(user expects to use camera when they open the shutter)

Feature -> enhancement ;-)
Comment 2 Venomrush 2010-03-05 03:58:18 UTC 
The scope of bugs.maemo.org are bugs and only very specific and no-brainer
enhancement requests. This report contains a feature request that is too
generic for bugs.maemo.org. Please post this problem and propose your
solution in Maemo Brainstorm instead: http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/

reopening.

venomrush,
its perfectly valid, its a straight forward single function enhancement
request.
leave brainstorm for things that need brainstorming

Comment 6 Andre Klapper maemo.org 2012-03-24 11:46:10 UTC 
The Maemo 5 User Interface and Maemo 5 platform components (e.g. libraries)
used for the N900 are considered stable by Nokia and it seems that there are no
plans for official updates currently, hence nobody plans to work on this
enhancement/wishlist request. 
(And in case you feel like discussing this situation: Nokia Customer Care or
http://talk.maemo.org would be the place to do so as you will not reach Nokia
officials in this community bugtracker - though all of this is really no news.)

Reflecting this status by setting RESOLVED WONTFIX for this
enhancement/wishlist request (see
https://bugs.maemo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#status for status explanations).

There is a small chance for issues in those Maemo components that are open
source: Contributed patches could be included and made available in the Maemo 5
Community CSSU updates. 
The Maemo CSSU project is run by a small team of volunteers; see
http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU for more information.
So in case that you can provide a patch that fixes the reported problem, please
feel encouraged to file a request under
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Maemo%205%20Community%20SSU .
Please note: The Maemo CSSU project is not related in any way to Nokia.
