Need help with QCameraImageCature

Hallo

I try to capture some images with QCameraImageCapture.
It works, but how can i change QCameraImageCapture readytocapture?

QObject::connect(m_cap, &QCameraImageCapture::imageCaptured, [=] (int id, QImage img) {
        Q_UNUSED(id);
        processImage(addPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(img)));
        m_camera->unlock();
    });

    QObject::connect(m_cap, &QCameraImageCapture::readyForCaptureChanged, [=] (bool state) {
        qInfo() << "Image state: " << state;
        if(state == true) {
            m_camera->searchAndLock();
            m_cap->capture();
            m_camera->unlock();
        }
    });

This works only for one time after start. How can i change this to run into a loop?

Hi,

You can use a QTimer to call your capturing method at regular interval.

I try it that way. :) But is it right that the readyForCaptureChanged signal fired once?
When do readyForCaptureChange will fired? Only after camera start and capture become ready?

Now i capture after every imageCaptured and check if its ok. Is that also a right way?

    QObject::connect(m_cap, &QCameraImageCapture::imageCaptured, [=] (int id, QImage img) {
        Q_UNUSED(id);
        QString x = qzx->decodeImage(img);
        // m_scene->addPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(img));
        if (x.isEmpty()) {
            if (m_cap->isReadyForCapture()) {
                m_camera->searchAndLock();
                m_cap->capture();
                m_camera->unlock();
            }
        }
        else {
            ui->textEdit->setText(x);
            m_scene->addPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(qzx->encodeData(x)));
            emit finishedCapture();
        }
    });

It works fine under Linux, but not under Windows. Do you know wich dlls i need?

AFAIK, it's normal. It should represent the state of readiness to capture from the camera. Therefore, as long as "nothing changes", the state will not change.

The backends are different between platforms. So some might react a bit differently.

Thanks.
Nie i install QTCreator die Windows. I can see that the app crash at QCameraInfo::deviceList without any Message . So i remove the line.
Now it start and the camera light goes on. But the viewfinder will be black.
Is there a better way to use a camera with QT wich worked in Linux, Mac and Windows?

What version of Qt are you using ?
What camera is that ?

We have to determine what is going on on your machine.
