Ahh man... it pains me to take apart the ML Hat Cam project for parts... it was a sloppy build/did its part.

With the 5.5 crop factor this is apparently the equivalent of a 40-275mm lens (full frame).

I have made great progress with the menu system, I have a navigable thing now.

But I'm still building out the subpages and the zoom-crop-panning piece that is crucial to taking good photos. I'm also still looking into taking fast photos while enabling preview/dynamic settings eg. the shutter/exposure settings above.

The difference between this menu image and the previous project log is the previous image is a single/static image. This one here was made with individual sprites pasted onto a PIL image. So it's dynamic like that, while not shown here. When you activate a menu... actually I'll just take a quick picture of it. It knows what icon is active/shows the larger text as seen below.

Then you go into subpages/do something.

Actually a gif is better ha.

Will just make a video.

The lens collection grows haha
