3This driver is for FinePix cameras with a USB connection.

27, only tested with FinePix S602Zoom on Zeta 1.1 though.

29TEST
30You can test if it works with your camera by connecting the camera and running FinePixTest in the Terminal. It should output lots of debug info and save one image in the same folder it's run from. (PS the test might not work after the media addon is installed, as that then takes control over the camera.)
31
32INSTALLATION
33Drop the FinePix.media_addon on the "Drop media_addon here to install" link, or copy manually to /boot/home/config/add-ons/media. Then Restart Media Services in the Media preferences, and the FinePixProducer should appear as a Video Input under Video Settings.
34
35USAGE
36Should (hopefully) work with all applications that accept video input, tested with CodyCam and Cortex.
37
38REMOVAL
39Delete FinePix.media_addon from /boot/home/config/add-ons/media
40
41KNOWN BUGS
42Might crash the media_addon_server if camera is disconnected while in use or if application tries to access a camera that is not connected. This can be cleared up by restarting the media services in Media preferences.
43
44IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
45Uses the USBKit. The media addon part is heavily based on the VideoProducer sample code from Be, and the driver is partially based on the Linux FinePix driver by Frank Zago and information gathered with the handy SnoopyPro USB Sniffer tool for Windows.
46
47FUTURE PLANS
48Make it harder to crash :-) Maybe move from USBKit to kernel mode for the actual driver part.
