I installed this app last night but can't work out what it actually does. Is it to replace the standard camera, and what does HDR mean?

idea is you take two images with different dynamic ranges, merge them and voila.

Haven't tried this specific app though, i think several apps are using the FCam library though.

Interesting, thanks guys.

Any idea if there's a page telling me what icons do what function?

i used it for a short while.  the pictures i got it to take, while higher in density, were more grainy.

it does as said above with the 2 pictures, but in addition, it is supposed to allow the camera to actually perform the way it was meant to.  (not for me.)

in the end, just play with the buttons, you cant mess anything up.  i ended up just going back to the standard camera.

seemed a pain anyway, since i had to open the shutter, close the camera application and then open the fcam/blessn900
