Photos and Video Recording on Mobile Phones

Phones running Linux became reality in last few years, and they do have cameras. Every notebook and most computers do have cameras, too, and there's a lot of effort to get good support for them concentrated around libcamera project. Unfortunately phones have different hardware than computers (dumb vs. USB cameras) and use cases are very different.

Pavel will explain challenges presented by phone hardware, explain what is needed to take good photos with phone such as Librem 5 or OnePlus 6, and explain additional challenges with video recording. He'll also talk about his work in this area, Clicks Machine and Millicam and improvements to Megapixels, Millipixels and Libcamera projects.
