Hi,


Did you give anythought to being able to pass back the YUV data without
any conversion - if the camera supports it? It'd be really useful in the case
that the next step is processing YUV data... (eg encoding to video, or a
variety of other image processing tasks).

I /suspect/ that passing out YUV will also help with this.

Incidentally, just tried the new version and I note that it must do something 
new in the camera setup now - the quality of images I'm getting out are 
_significantly_ better in low light conditions :-)

Really cool work - many thanks :-)

Best Regards,


Michael.
