I MADE a Camera

[@BeccaFarsace]

this is awesome!👏

[@B0A2]

Thank you!! Your build was such an inspiration for me, best of luck with the new channel it looks like you’re killing it!

Both linus and the other youtuber were using the wrong code. In the raspberry pi book they have a button code that is really easy to write. What I used. was an old c mount cinema lens (for 8&16mm film cameras). And that allows me to control the aperture, and the auto settings will then adjust the iso and shutter. I'm not a programmer at all, so these are just some of the practical solutions I found. These lenses are pretty cheap and decent quality as well. And you get a cool "vintage" look. Also I believe how the cinema pi gets around only shooting 1080p video is that they actually take pictures every frame, and then in your editing software you put them together to get the video. So a lot of these manual settings you should be able to use by just recording a quick video then pulling your favorite picture. You have coding knowledge, so you might be able to look at their code, and limit it for your stills use. If you do I would love an update video on that, it would help me a lot with my project. I have put this down for a while, but seeing your excitement for it, is getting me pumped again. Subscribing, and can't wait to see more!

[@B0A2]

Excited to see what you come up with! I’ll definitely make some updates videos either in long form or as shorts. Your idea of borrowing from the cinepi code is very interesting, I’ll have to take a look at that and see if I can put something together.

i just want to see the quality of the photos

[@B0A2]

kzbin.inforZIbq-UJn6A I have some photo samples in my short I made on the camera, I will definitely include some more picture samples in the next video.

Great job!

[@B0A2]

Thank you! I’m excited to see where I can take it

[@Whois3st]

Very cool man.

[@B0A2]

Thank you!!

If you can change camera settings with a command line, could you use something like an arduino micro to emulate a keyboard and fire off keyboard macros with push buttons? 🤔 Also if you add a curved camera grip on one side, you can have the batteries contained in that 😃

[@B0A2]

That’s definitely one way to approach it! I was thinking something closer to trying to build a python design using qt but I’ll look into something like that as well! Holding the batteries in the camera grip is a great idea!! I’ve noticed that a lot of dslr’s and such do that! I’d love to be able to use like Sony batteries with it if I can figure out power conversion

If you have the Pi connected to network, you might be able to remote into it from VSCode or similar editor and just force output to camera screen. That may help you a lot with coding.

[@B0A2]

That’s an interesting idea I wasn’t aware that that was a possibility! Right now I’m mostly using GitHub and vnc

[@baths4carsraspberrypicomputer]

nice camera

[@B0A2]

Thank you!

[@MONGER2007]

yooo drop the guide soon!

[@B0A2]

I’ll try to put it together soon! I’ve got some files in the bio to get you started if you want to take a look at that until then.

[@khanbasharat]

I want you to improve this design, so we can mount expensive lens mounts and also improve other things as well and include an internal battery, i would like to see an updated camera,

[@B0A2]

One thing I mention is that when using Canon lenses with the adapter a it introduces a pretty significant crop in. So depending what you mean by expensive lens mount that may be veryyy zoomed in. But, there’s a couple of solutions I’m looking at to try to fix that! I’ve been having some difficulty finding high quality batteries for the raspberry pi, I may just build my own but you’re right! It has to be an internal battery.

[@dakelpoandgames2593]

Good job bud

[@B0A2]

Thank you! Super excited to see where I can take it

[@TribbleBot]

As long as you didn't drop it you're automatically doing it better than Linus

[@B0A2]

haha very true
