I've been enjoying exploring OC's options compared to the limited built-in camera app. though I do kind of miss having a quick one-tap way to switch cameras.Akkana PeckFri, 24 Apr 2026 15:05:00 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/discussion/general/thread/b82556beb1/?limit=25#9512https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/discussion/features/thread/e7703c213a/?limit=25#8262This was asked for about 10 years ago and now I'm asking again. I would like to be able to disable the video button at times. And I would gladly pay for the option. There are situations where I am in bright light, or I'm holding the camera way over my head or some other strange angle, and I accidentally switch to video. Of course I don't realize this until my shooting environment has changed, so instead of getting the hi-res raw file I was hoping for I get a video instead.

Google camera and Google photos used an undocumented method ("com.android.camera.action.REVIEW") which meant (a) it restricted it to gallery apps, and (b) meant videos...MarkSat, 04 Apr 2026 14:36:06 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/1300/?limit=25#9fb2https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/1019/?limit=25#fa4cOne class I found on the quick: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/heifwriter/AvifWriterAnonymousFri, 03 Apr 2026 11:25:50 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/1019/?limit=25#fa4chttps://sourceforge.net/p/opencamera/tickets/1019/?limit=25#20faSure, I just added AVIF support, though via https://github.com/awxkee/avif-coder.

Open Camera supports all the relevant APIs (accessing multiple cameras, automatically switching via zooming in and out; accessing specific "lenses") but some manufacturers still don't expose to third party applications via the Android API.
