Overview

Some S60 3rd Edition and newer devices support the camera autofocus feature. There are also methods available to use the autofocus in third-party applications. Autofocus is officially supported in the S60 SDK since S60 5th Edition but interfaces are also available for S60 3rd Edition SDKs separately. Note that because the autofocus implementation has changed in S60 3rd Edition, FP2, there is a binary compatibility break between S60 3rd Edition, FP1 and S60 3rd Edition, FP2.

Using autofocus on S60 3rd Edition, FP2 and newer devices

Autofocus can be controlled via the <CCamera::CCameraAdvancedSettings class, which is part of the Symbian Onboard Camera (CCamera) API. In the S60 5th Edition SDK for Symbian OS v0.9 it is defined in ecamadvsettings.h. This class is not part of the S60 3rd Edition, FP2 SDK for Symbian OS v1.1 but you can get it from the SDK API plug-in for the S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, for C++, supporting Feature Pack 2 (in version 1.2). Note that the header file name (ecamadvancedsettings.h) and its dependencies somewhat differ from the corresponding file in S60 5th Edition.

Note also that camera hardware used in S60 devices does not support all the functionality defined in CCameraAdvancedSettings. The API provides functions for querying supported settings for each advanced camera feature.

For further information on the usage, see the article Symbian Onboard Camera Advanced Settings API.

Example application: Image:S60 Camera Example AutoFocus 3rd Ed FP2.zip

At least the following S60 3rd Edition, FP2 and newer devices support autofocus: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 6210 Navigator, Nokia 6220 Classic, Nokia N78.

Note: The key event codes and other features of the camera implementations may vary between devices. While supporting most S60 3rd Edition, FP2 devices, the current version of the example application does not yet support Nokia N79 and N96.

Note: When building the example application on the S60 5th Edition SDK, remember to modify the #include's to match the different header file name (ecamadvsettings.h instead of ecamadvancedsettings.h).

Using autofocus on S60 3rd Edition and S60 3rd Edition, FP1 devices

Autofocus is not part of the S60 SDK, but it is provided as a plug-in library, included in the S60 Platform: Camera Example with Autofocus Support available on the Forum Nokia Web site.
