Hi,

I'm trying to write a python script/app which can take pictures simultaneously from both the front and rear camera of the device if it has two devices or else just take picture from the rear camera.
When I test with Nokia N70 2nd Ed Fp3 which has two cameras, I get error in line 43 saying 'TypeError: an Integer is required', only the rear camera is started and the picture is not saved. I do not have a picture with the same name at the location. Please help me debug...
I'm getting error in this line:
photo = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),0,'none','auto','auto',1)

My code is
import appuifw, e32, camera
import _camera
import graphics

_my_camera=_camera.Camera(0)
#_finder_camera=_camera.Camera(0)
no_of_cameras = _my_camera.cameras_available()
#no_of_cameras = cameras_available()

print no_of_cameras

camera_position=0
if no_of_cameras>1:
camera_position=1

print camera_position
temp = int(camera_position)

app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
#Define the exit function
def quit():
#Close the viewfinder
camera.stop_finder()
#Release the camera so that other programs can use it
camera.release()
app_lock.signal()
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = quit

#Function for displaying the viewfinder
def vf(im):
appuifw.app.body.blit(im)

#Function for taking the picture
def take_picture():

if _my_camera.taking_photo():
raise RuntimeError, "Photo request ongoing"
#Take the photo
#take_photo(mode='RGB16',size=(640, 480),zoom=0,flash='none',
# exposure='auto',white_balance='auto',position=0):
if no_of_cameras>1:
#photo = camera.take_photo('JPEG_Exif', (2592, 1944),'none','0','auto','auto','1')
photo = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),0,'none','auto','auto',1)
photo1 = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),0,'none','auto','auto',0)

#_my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(1024, 768),0,'none','auto','auto',1)
else:
photo = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),0,'none','auto','auto',0)
#photo = camera.take_photo('RGB', (1024, 768),camera_position)
#photo = camera.take_photo('RGB', (640, 480),camera_position)
#Save it at maximum quality
photo.save(photo_savepath, quality = 100)
photo1.save(photo_savepath1, quality = 100)
#Save it
#f = open(photo_savepath, "w")
#f.write(photo)
#f.close()
#f = open(photo_savepath1, "w")
#f.write(photo1)
#f.close()


#Restart the viewfinder
camera.stop_finder()
camera.start_finder(vf)

photo_savepath = u"E:\\System\\Apps\\Python\\my\\photo.jpg"
photo_savepath1 = u"E:\\System\\Apps\\Python\\my\\photo1.jpg"
#This is the path and name for storing the photo

#Set the application's body to Canvas
appuifw.app.body = appuifw.Canvas()

#Start the viewfinder
camera.start_finder(vf)

#Set the application's menu with the option to take the photo
appuifw.app.menu=[(u"Take photo", take_picture)]

#Wait for the user to request the exit
app_lock.wait()

hi,
i think the parameter sequence is wrong.
may be like this:
photo = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),'none',0,'auto','auto',1)

Hi xiaobu,

I changed the parameter sequence as you suggested to:
photo = _my_camera.take_photo('RGB',(640, 480),'none',0,'auto','auto',1)

but I'm still getting the same error at the same place

Thanks

hello neeraj

i will advice you that whenever you are posting any code in the dibo please use the code tags(#) avilable in your editor box so that we can easily get your code with indentation.

enjoy Pythoning
