WhatsApp camera is defaulting to the UW camera when you take a picture. If you clear cache and force stop it may return to normal, but could also switch back at any time.

So when trying to take a picture, sometimes it will do it instantly, other time it a blue ring with sort of ring around and say "keep your phone still" and takes like 6 seconds for a picture? It's on auto mode. Anyone know why this does this and when?

Talking about a user facing camera instead of the outward facing camera @Dennisg34 ?

I noticed it also, I saw that it happens when a "twilight shot" icon shows up in the bottom, so my untested theory is that the auto mode is engaging some sort of night mode where it keeps the shutter open longer to capture darker images. If you turn off picture stabilization, then the delay goes away.

Ahh I was thinking it was the stabilization option, thanks!

Mine does this too, and I am not sure why. It seems to happen when the object I am trying to capture is moving, (5 year old daughter)

exactly. go into the settings when you open up the camera app, turn off picture stabilization. will work normal from there on.
I set my camera mode to intelligent auto but everytime I go back to my camera later, it's back on regular normal.
Same thing goes for ISO in auto. If I have it set to a certain ISO it just goes back to auto when I go into the camera later.
Is there anyway to save settings?
Stock camera app is designed like this, nothing you can do.
If you are rooted, you should give Xdabbeb's mod a try:

It's basically the stock app with tons of new features.
Among the new features is that it remembers your settings when you close the camera app.

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.

1. Nope, no stamina mode or such
2. 32.0.A.6.200 (latest available stock)
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?)
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

Tried both off and on same result.
When i try to go into the settings of my camera, it pops up, but doesn't stay open ? Opens and closes in a second, i can stop it from closing. I tried Force stop, clearing cache and erasing data from it, but still does the same thing. It doesn't crash the camera, only that the settings window doesn't stay open. Anyone have an idea what would be doing that ?
