Just open camera, look to the right bottom icon and you`ll see a flash sign, press that and hit A for autoflash.

exit HDR mode, in the touch menu (when you press the screen in the camera) you have to your upper left icon with camera and rounded arrow beneath it, press it and choose it, it will change to back camera, and now turn on the flash using the touch menu

Camera, time out-time

If left untouched, the camera-app will shut down after approximately 30 seconds.
Very frustrating when waiting for the perfect opportunity to take a picture.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
(Except from taking pictures or changing focus by half pressing the camera button or such)

Mine stays open all the time. I just opened camera app and put it on the table for about 2 minutes and it stays open.
Maybe u use any powersaving apps / modes?
Also, which firmware do u use?
Camera app V 1.0 or camera app V 2.0?
You can try to clear data via settings>apps>all>camera and test again.

3. Both? "Camera extension" is version 1.0 and "Camera common" is version 2.0
4. I have two, see 3 above, cleared both
Still the same after clearing data and rebooting.

Could u upload a screen recording of what exactly is happening?
And does it happen in all camera modes? (8MP, 23MP, 20MP, video, manual, superior auto, and AR as well?)
It happens if you go to camera app trough lockscreen shortcut or hardware button form stand-by, but if you unlock device, then go to camera app in normal way touching the icon from homescreen or in drawer then it won't shut down it self.

I think that is just a "feature" to prevent prolonged activation of camera if by misstake pressing the hardware shutter button or if screen goes on by some reason like sms and contact with skin through thin jeans pockets could pull around lockscreen buttons.

Oh then I misunderstood you. I thought u where talking about unlocking and then opening camera app.
I can confirm the issue now lol, but I think this is to prevent the camera staying open in case it accidentally opened.

That seems correct. Opening the app as you said made the Camera stay open til I close it manually.
I´ve never opened the camera that way before since I hava a physical button for it.

That´s probably why.
I would still like to change the behavior but I guess that´s not something done easily. (Or does anyone know a way?)

Camera Watermark Setting

I finally got around to poking at the camera software on the A7 and noticed a Watermark option. Oddly enough, when I try to flip the switch it doesn't turn on. Is anyone else having this issue or know what I'm doing wrong?
Works for me, and it puts the date and the text "by AXON" in the bottom right corner of the photo.
Puts the date but allows me to input whatever title I want with a subtitle and to set whatever colour I want...
I have the Chinese Axon 7, 4gb ram 128gb rom.
It finally started working for me. No idea why it wouldn't previously.
And now it's not working again. I also had the camera app freeze on me and had to reboot my phone.
So it turns out that if you open the camera app from the lock screen, you can't enable and disable the watermark. But if you open it from the app drawer you can.

Thanks for the tip :good:

Auto rotate issue

When I open pictures via the camera app sometimes the pics are upside down depending on how I decided to hold the camera for that particular picture.
Naturally you turn the phone around so it's the right way up but the picture rotates when you do that so it's upside down again.
Yes auto rotate is turned off.
Edit: you can reproduce this yourself if you open a picture via the camera app. Issue does not occur if you open the picture manually from the dcim folder

Camera Intelligent Features (Grayed)

I can't enable any intelligent feature in camera settings.
Can anyone help me for this?
They all are greyed.
Screenshot attached
Switch to the rear camera when you want to edit those setting, they aren't available for the front camera.

Im sorry but its only available for a perticular mode.
I just found.
What about if your rear camera is grey as well
The Greyed out toggle buttons will only be available in "photo" mode. Before pressing "settings" in camera, make sure you have selected the "photo" mode.
