Hi guys,
I was trying to take a picture with the front camera of my N70 using the PyS60 camera module and I got this error:


>>> from camera import *
>>> take_photo(position=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\system\libs\camera.py", line 68, in take_photo
position))
SymbianError: [Errno -5] KErrNotSupported


Any idea?
I am using the 1.3.12 release

thanks

Hi galaktico,

try to print the camera available for your devices:

import camera
print camera.cameras_available()

let see what it gives

Hi LFD,
I tried it and this is the result

>>> import camera
>>> print camera.cameras_available()
2

It seems I shold be able to use it, right?

Yes it should! And 1 is for the front one... Have you tried to set all the other parameters like the mode, size?

The default size, thanks to the documentation, seems to be 640x480. Now I'm wondering if the front camera support this size. Try to set it to the minimum i.e 160x120

Let see what it gives

setting size=(160,120) Works!!!!!

Thanks a lot
Galaktico!!

This seems to be a bug. Could you please file it in SourceForge so we remember it? I'd say that's a priority 5 bug.
