I’m using Mi 11 lite and pictures cannot be open from Gcam, I can take them picture but not view it in the app. Access permissions look fine, any advice?
Resolved after installing google photos, as indicated on the celsoazevedo website.
There’s no option of night or astrophotography in my Gcam in advanced settings option. Night sight is present along with camera, potrait, video and all in the interface only at the bottom. And there’s no astrophotography option anywhere. Why is it so?
When you are in Night mode, click on the arrow to extend the options. There you will find an Astrophotography mode.
