Pretty cool milestone for cameras on the #PinePhonePro and the #libcamera + #PipeWire stack today: the #Manjaro images (the stock distro) for both #phosh and #PlasmaMobile now come with all required packages by default.
Finally I can simply install cheese and get an image.
Yes, the rotation is still wrong. Yes, there are still features missing that you'd expect from a modern camera stack. Yes, there are still bugs and suboptimal image quality. But we got a working base now.
@rmader what are the next steps for camera support / quality? I see you have some autofocus changes for libcamera.
@dubstar_04 I personally don't work on any of that low-level optimizations, just helping with wiring APIs up and testing etc. :)
Anyway, #libcamera 0.0.5 will hopefully come with tuning files for the #PinePhonePro and the new autofocus algorithm - which won't be enabled by default for now though. Also, the kernel should soon start to report the correct rotation and location (front/back).
And then there's tons of stuff like better exposing controls for e.g. brightness but also focus and zooming.
