Front camera on N95 never works

[peppebe]

I've tried all kinds of combinations of extra parameters when I call

camera.take_photo(position=1)

.

Yes, cameras_available() returns 2.

I've never managed to take a picture with it. It constantly gives me one of those "ValueError: Size not supported for camera" errors.

This is 1.4.2. Not sure what else to say to help you help me

This works:

import camera
image = camera.take_photo(mode = "RGB", size = (320, 240),
                          exposure = "auto", position = 1)
image.save("E:\\camtest.jpg", format = "JPEG", quality = 90)

I've also tried 160x120, 640x480 but neither works, at least with "RGB" color mode.

How did you know to use that resolution?

I tried all common ones until one worked.

Yeah thats the way, and its better than trial and error method.
