I'm considering developping an application using the camera.
Before I even start to dip into the documentation, I wouldn't mind some enlightments :

I'm developping with the S60-3rd SDK. I've read about example code using the camera, but I can't find it in the SDK directories... Are those examlpes present in previous SDK only ?

Is there a way to debug the camera app within the emulator ?
(Can the emulator emulates the camera too ?)

Thanks for any help...

I'm using Symbian 7.0s.Emulator debugger work with camera, but camera emulator produce only one pre-recorded loop. To debug actual video I'm replacing bitmaps from emulator with bitmaps from my prerecorded loop.
I've a question for you too. Does camera access on the s60-3rd SDK require  developer sertifcate installed on the fone and non-free symbian signed for distribution ?

Well, that would be great if that worked on the 3rd SDK, that's the behavior I'm looking for.
Unfortunately, when we browse to the camera app within the emulator, the message 'Feature unsupported' is displayed, so I guess the functionality hasn't been implemented.
That's a shame since the S60_3rd based phone have wicked good camera to work with.

I'm going to install a S60_2_fp2 SDK and see if I can do something.

I'm sorry but I don't have this information  Embarassed
Actually, maybe the answer is yes, and even to create an application working with the camera in the first place would require such certificate.

Are there any piece of software for s60 3rd framework working with the camera yet ?
If yes, they surely got all our answers...

AFAIK it's quoted in the SDK Release note that the camera API is not supported on S60 3rd Ed. SDK. You'll have to use a v2 SDK or to get On Device Debugging working for your device.

Thank you.
Yes I'll rely on a 2nd edition for now.

Hopefully the Camera support will be integrated in a coming feature pack for S60_3rd SDK...
