Maybe a patch for Clié Camera Library...

[SwissDan]

sorry,

maybe this is old, but i have found two new upgrades
for our NZ90:

- Clié Camera Library
- Clié Camera Clié CamS Update

European Updates/Patches for NZ90 (http://www.clie-link.com/uk/updates.asp?ID=1011&submenu=updates.asp&mainmenu=compatibility.asp)


ps: there is also a MS PRO UPDATE for european versions !

Dan

[EvilErnie]

Thanks, there are other useful updates as well.

[alildevil]

well weird but my nz90 doesnt look like the model featured on that page. that looks more like my old one, does the readme in the updates say its for the nz? maybe those files were for the model pictured

[EvilErnie]

I dont think that model has a camera.

[PvV]

Does anybody know if the patch works on US models of the NZ90?

q PEG-NZ90 (UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands and via the Internet)

[RudiJan CH]

It works on NZ90 US Models as well and there is realy an improvment in batterylife. You can much more Pictures with flash then without the new patch.

Rudolf

[RudiJan CH]

65 Hires pics and still 38% batterypower without Flash

Rudolf

[PvV]

Thanks Rudolf!

[RudiJan CH]

Next Data: 45 pics one after another all with flash, rest battery power 33% after 5 min battery power goes back to 72 % on the normal Display (not in the Camara mode), more than 10 times improvement. Now its a usefull camara and not only a toy.
I think there is a new 2xZoom available with the Movie Recoder which i did't remember before ?

Rudolf from Switzerland (NZ90 is an US Version)

[davy19]

why did they not release a US version?

[Unregistered]

This update is great! I'm in Chicago so it works on U.S models.

[Unregistered]

I forgot to mention that I downloaded the Camlib file as well and now the flash shoots FASTER with no wait time. I love it!

[Unregistered]

All good news but i have one little problem with the Cam1.1 Update:
I cannot delete the 1.0 version in RAM !
Now i have two icons on my launcher (Launcher X)....
When i hit the camera button on nthe upper left side it takes the right one (1.1) but it still bothers me to have two times the same app on my device - one in RAM and one in ROM
Any hints ?

Thanx

[Bo_]

Strange, I just copied mine to the internal ram and after resetting it fired up beautifully. Positively work better..! Way to go Sony.

Now if they would make a auto-email option which would automatically e-mail each image captures to a pre-determined e-mail address (whenever a internet connection is available) I would be in Hog Haven... and that is not bad for a BMW rider.


Bo

[smatman]

This is a great improvement! Much less delay now and better battery usage.
After hotsync and reset, only the one Icon (v1.1) was there.

[RudiJan CH]

It seems that the 2 Icon problem is only seen with the XLauncher with the normal Sony launcher there is only one Icon. That happend with the Viewer and Files update as well.

Rudolf

[Bo_]

No 2nd ikon left in ZLauncher.

I spend last night snapping 75 1200x1600 pixels images with flash... YEAH...

These things are different to me. "Lens cover is closed" warning is now immediately displayed. I don't remember having the preview pane while in the "wrench/settings" mode. I rattled of 5-6 flash pics last night. Overall battery drain seemed much less. I don't see any startup time improvement. Single icon with Zlauncher.
Wonder why no US release?

Yeah wonering that too, I am going to wait I am sure they will have a US release soon I hope

[oneeyesquare]

It works fine. have seen no glitches and with the number of pics Bo_ took, I'd think we'd have heard of any problems. It sits in RAM , so you can always delete it!!!!

[davy19]

how do i uninstall to go back to the old one in case I do run into any issues? and do i need to install both updates?

Thanks

[dks99]

Something that I would love to see, is an option
where pressing the CAPTURE button would NOT launch the camera app unless the lens cover was open as well.

this would prevent some of the accidental camera launches where you have to wait good x seconds before you can exit the thing...

:)

later,
dks

[oneeyesquare]

Davy, it's in RAM as "Clie CameraS ". Any file manager should work...

[davy19]

thanks i installed it and defintiely faster startup and seems to be quicker have not used long enough to see if battery makes a difference

thanks

[dimensiondvdrob]

so, did you install BOTH files davy?

[davy19]

yes i di dnot sure if neededd both but instlaled both

[oneeyesquare]

One downside.... My photo numbering started back at 0 again. I think there's a way to manually set, so no biggy; otherwise, I might get some redundancy problems trying to save on the desktop....

[greg elmassian]

Anyone else test the camera app before and after the patch? I hear 2 people say it starts up faster, and one person say no...

(I suppose I could do the test myself, but would like to hear from others first)

Greg

[davy19]

it not much faster but defienitly maybe by 1-2 seconds

[RudiJan CH]

I think its more important to make up to ten times more pics then the question of more or less faster start up.
Is there anyone who could answer the question if the 2xZomm for the movie maker is new or not with the new update ?

Rudolf

[med]

2x zoom for movie has always been there.....not new feature introduced with updates.

_______________________________________________-

Before the CamS and Lib updates (European site) I was able to take only 7 high res (1600x1200) pics before the flash was disabled (battery life under 35%). After the update, took 105 1600x1200 pics successively with flash before reaching the 35% battery life threshold. Still I had 60% battery life left for rest of nz applications (other than camera/movie).

Awesome.

surely sounds awesome but what did you take the pictures of? Portraits or a shot of a whole group of people, or a architectual view? The further away the object is the more flash power you will need...

But still 105 is exceptional:cool:

cheers Nicolas

[oneeyesquare]

Wow!!!! I get bored after 10 or so....

I must admit the pictures were of objects that were closeby (within 10ft) as I was trying to check whether this update was actually for real and I didn't have much time.....turns out it is (even if the pictures I took were not representative of the 'actual picture taking experience').

[penwatch1]

This is what makes Clie Source so great. I just downloaded the update for my new NZ-90 which I received on Thursday. The camera is awesome but WOW does it eat up battery power. Hope this patch works as good as it sounds. Without this group how would one find this information, Former NX-60 owner now NZ-90 owner- the Nikon F-5 of PDA's!!!!!!! (built solid)

It's good.it's make me take a many photo than old version.
Thank you everybody

I can't seem to get to the download for the patch for cam 1.1. Is there another site to get this patch? please help

[cab]

Well I was able to download the ClieCamS, but the download for cam lib page has been removed. Do you think I would have better battery results with only the ClieCamsS patch installed? Or not use the patch without cam lib patch?

[RudiJan CH]

Try it again, its better to install both.
I have downloaded these files just 2 Min ago.

Rudolf

[cab]

Thanks Again, I was able to download both.

[nznznz]

I found something that is different than the old version.
The White Balance has a new icon come out and which you can have three custom white balance setting.

[nznznz]

They also add a '+' at the center of the focus. I don't know what it use for. Any clue?

[EvilErnie]

Thats a spot meter for lighting. Move it from a dark place to a bright place to see what it does.

[dimensiondvdrob]

Can I install these files from a memory stick? Or would I be better to install via HotSync?

[Bo_]

I installed them both from my memory stick, simply copy them to the internal ram. then take a paper clip and do a reset.

Bo

www.bophoto.com/clie

[mohi007]

I must say that I do not find a difference in start-up time, which is really something that I wanted, but on the plus side the battery life definitely improved.

[oneeyesquare]

ummmmm, Bo..... Unscrew the end of your stylus for the reset pin(just in case you can't find your paper clip) :)

[Bo_]

I Know I know... but having used PDA's for the last XX years... (smile) Paperclip sounded somewhat cooler.. Never mind, forget I mentioned it..

Why is this not offered on the Sony US website?

I'm unable to download the update from the UK site. What's the problem?

Do you use IE 5.1 for MAC?
On mine it does not work either... With Netscape/Mozilla it works just fine...
I am just assuming;)

Safari did the download/s just fine.

Hi Bo_,

It's great to have this patch but I just can't download it from the UK website. Is it possible for you to email me a copy of it at teckruth@yahoo.com.sg ?
Thanks.

[oneeyesquare]

Had me worried there for a sec, Bo_!!!! :D

[YTTAN]

I had just tried to test my cam at 100% fully charge before I get the patch.
I was shock that I manage to shoot 45 shots (1600x1200) all with flash within 5 min and I still left 70% battery life. After I quit the cam program and launch other program for a min, it's bounded back to 93%!!

I was wonder is it because the battery had enough experience with the cam and work smarter (currently I got 17 cycles in my battery).

The preivous test was a month ago and at 4 cycles with about 10 shots with flash, I got warning that flash can't be use.

Or is it because I use it with MS Pro?
Yet one more thing to mention is I can have another shot while the MS Pro still saving the previous shots.

Anyone experience that too?

[twinsdad]

tried to download camera library and camera updates but I just get IE's "page cannot be displayed" error message. Anyone having trouble downloading from this site?


Don

[donnici]

I´m having the same prob.

The download is from a FTP site, that is DOWN.

this one:

Let's wait till they out it up again....

[YTTAN]

I using IE 6.028 but it's still fail to download it.

[greg elmassian]

yttan, send me your email and i'll send you the files... i'm greg@elmassian.com

[RudiJan CH]

The UK NZ90 dowloadside is down. All Program are not downloadable. But there is a SONY Support page where the same Programs CLIECameraS.prc and CAmLib.pcr are available.
You have to go down and there are 2 blue Buttons for the download.

Rudolf

[YTTAN]

Thanks Rudolf I got it from that link.

Thanks greg too.

[YTTAN]

Thanks Bo_. I had receive your email too.

[greg elmassian]

so yttan, is it better?

Greg

[Bo_]

Yeah, Yttan, after all this drama, tell us how you like it.. (smile)


Bo

www.bophoto.com/clie

[YTTAN]

I do see some improvement in startup from 8 sec to 6 sec. Less timelaps when shoot with flash.
One new function / icon added when you view the photo that you had shots although still can't be use.(web icon)

Wondering which applications that link to the 2 non-active icons?(email + web):confused:

[YTTAN]

Battery life not much different. I'm thinking it's might be the battery itself got to recognise the usage with the Digicam. I'm not to sure whether I got 2x zoom in older version of moive mode. But version 1.1 got it!
Anyway, I enjoy the new upgrade. Thanks to Bo_ and greg.

YTTAN, did you install the update on a PEG-NZ90/G?

I got my NZ90 from Singapore and sure would like to know if the update works on those units.
Please advise.

Thanks.

[Bo_]

Yttan,

The web link is for the Sony Picture site uploader, if you install it you can upload directly from the camera application.


Bo

[costa rhu]

Seems to be mixed results, in terms of faster camera and better battery. I wonder why this is not on the U.S. Sony Support site, or even Asia or Singapore for that matter.

Yes, I had installed it. I advise you to install it on whatever Sony had recommended but provided that you really need it as it's really takeup some ram space after installed.

Enjoy your NZ.:)

[YTTAN]

Thank Bo_ I saw it in your email's attachement.

[ClieNut]

How come Sony USA is not releasing these two upgrades? I'm afraid to install them to my NZ. Anybody in USA had any problem with this after the installation?

[Bo_]

I am in SoCal... no problems what so every. My clie works like a charm.

yes you need to install both patches..print the installation instructions and you'll see.

Hi Bo_,

After I had setup the download addressfor image download but still fail to show the active icon for email and web in cam mode.
Pls advise.
Thanks.

[Bo_]

That is strange, I shot a movie tonight and e-mailed it from the WiFi right away by using the email option in the movie cam, and the same worked in the Camera mode... The button in either should create a e-mail with no problems.

Bo

www.bophoto.com/clie

[YTTAN]

I think I might ha done some mistake in some steps. Still fail to show active. Never mind, I will traced it out again.

[ronemp1]

I update my NZ90 with this new patch, and I took 240 high-resolution (at fine setting) pictures, 20 are done with Flash (normal intensity), and 220 without flash. I'm currently using a MS Pro 256mb on my NZ90. And the photos were taken between 6pm - 7pm, in downtown area where there are a lot of people, cars, and buildings. In conclusion, I am very PLEASED with this update! GOOD JOB SONY!!!

[Big Daddy]

why is this not on the U.S. site??

[LoneWolf]

What is the exact names of the files I need?

Thanks in Advance!!!

[LoneWolf]

Sorry, i Kinda over did it....

[EvilErnie]

CLIECamS_11.prc
CamLib_11.prc

[LoneWolf]

Thanks!!!... EvilErnie

[duc748_bip]

Another way to conserve some power when starting camara or vidoe recorder is to turn off the back/front light during start up.
So you enter camara mode with higher number on the battery meter.

[DON2003]

I have updated my NZ90 with the patch
but when I run the CLIE Cam, the battery still dropped to half but it now can shot more than before but still disable the flash after few shots, and when exit the CLIE Cam, the battery goes up.

is this normal after the update? or is there anything I done wrong? pls help, thanks

[azian_advanced]

yeah. mine too.
i'm guessing it's the battery # that we have. i have #31xxx.
