for the long weekend here in North America (Friday off in Canada, Monday off in US) had some time to again look at the pinephone pro.
downloaded the July 1 manjaro plasma dev image:
https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile-dev/releases/tag/202207010605
and also ppp-cam testing utility:
https://megous.com/git/ppp-cam
am inside, so a bit dark, had to set gain > defaults:
test pics at breakfast: all 3 sizes of the world sensor; did notice the lowest resolution is darker, so set the gain higher for a second version
Medium
Small
Small, same gain as large
Large
Do notice the small triangular grid on the large image; software or actual hardware artifact?
also a greenish tinge.
Next?
- get the cli working with
ffmpeg,v4l2-ctlandmedia-ctl - hook python up, and see about some image processing there.

So, I gave this a shot. I saw the green tinge and the contrast is super low. Now I understand that there’s no image processing happening, but it still seems very low, even factoring that in, especially in high contrast lighting situations. I also spotted the triangular noise pattern on most of the images, especially the ones with more light. You can see my images at:
