Corrupt JPEG data error

[BartoszPaj]

Hi,
when I try capture image i get error:
Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment

Note:
Capture rate: 1shot/750ms
Wait for read image 1 sec.
Resolution 640x480

I suppose it could be problem with libjpeg, but I don't know how to force use it in CMake project.

2nd UPDATE:

Problem was by natural source. The light reflects from window into camera.
2nd problem was using file as buffer.

I solved it by using grab image from QCameraViewFinder widget and send by memory.

A bit too generic.
Can you show us some code?

first of all where does the JPEG data come from?
second no need to do anything in your CMake project, since the jpeg codec/plugin is already compiled and shipped with Qt.
Maybe you can save an example to a file to reproduce the issue?

// This is slot connected to QTimer (timeout 750ms)

void FormAuthorizationPanel::takeQrPhoto()
{
    camera->searchAndLock();

    QEventLoop loop;
   QObject::connect(imageCapture,SIGNAL(readyForCaptureChanged(bool)),&loop,SLOT(quit()));
        imageCapture->capture(QString(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()+"/"+"QrShot"));
    loop.exec();

    qrCaptureMan->grabQrStatus();
    camera->unlock();

}

void QrCaptureManager::grabQrStatus()

    camera->setViewfinderSettings(*vfs);

    imageCapture->setCaptureDestination(QCameraImageCapture::CaptureToFile);
    ui->widget->update();

If I understand data came from QCameraImageCapture.

I suggested by this topic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33198296/qt-load-incomplete-jpeg-data-into-qpixmap-how-to-verify.
No, I can't. That's all what I could show code ( Company Terms).

[VRonin]

Why are you connecting to readyForCaptureChanged?
try:

QEventLoop loop;
int captureID = -1;
QObject::connect(imageCapture,&QCameraImageCapture::imageSaved,&loop,[&captureID,&loop](int capID)->void{
if(capID==captureID)
loop.quit();
});
captureID = imageCapture->capture(QString(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath()+"/"+"QrShot"));
loop.exec();

Before, when Timeout was shorter (<500ms) the app could crash. So I was created a loop for stop the camera.

UPDATE: Thank you for advice. Now I have much better synchro.
Today I tested app in another device. I'm gonna suppose it could be fault by low quality camera.
