Screen capture tool to increase shutter speed

mikenerd · #1 (**permalink**) 04-11-2009, 06:33 PM

I have spb screen shot and it doesn't seem to work with the camera. i just get a black pic. Also, since I can't map it to a hard button, for some reason, it wouldn't really be a good option anyway. I searched around here and elsewhere and have not seen this topic discussed. I know the resolution would be limited to the 640x480 but it would be nice to have a "what you see is what you get" option for lower light.

SPB Screenshot is to take the current screen pitcure and save it, hence Screen shot. it think you might have it confuesed my friend.

I am trying to figure out a way to get a pic of what is on the screen immediately so I do not have to wait for the camera to auto focus. The TP takes to long to focus sometimes and the shot is gone. I have used burst/sport modes but it still sucks. Why can't I just somehow save what is on the screen???? It seems like a logical use of screen capture to me. And, yes i use screen capture for its intended purpose too.

oh i know a program called shake and save which saves your screen image and it does work will in camera mode to but you gotta "shake" it and that would make the screen fuzy on camera rite.. so idk sorry

This is all that I know you can do to help the camera speed on our Touch Pros.

Use Advanced Configuration Tool to set the capture time to "0" original is I think 1500. Then go to your camera settings and set the delay to "No Limit". Then turn the brightness down 1. Soft Reset and the camera is better, it wont be a kodak or anything but it's better than what came in the box.
