##### Q: Why is front camera flipped horizontally when using takePicture() or takeVideo() ? |
||||
|
||||
A: It's actually not flipped - if you show your left hand, the person in the picture will show its left hand as well, |
||||
so this is the accurate representation of reality. |
||||
|
||||
However, if you want to flip the result horizontally to match the preview, |
||||
you can do so by using the [snapshot APIs](../docs/capturing-media), which will respect what is shown in the preview. |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: Can I use filters / overlays / cropping with takePicture() instead of takePictureSnapshot() ? |
||||
|
||||
A: No, these features are only available with the snapshot API. |

##### Q: Can I use filters / overlays / cropping with takeVideo() instead of takeVideoSnapshot() ? |
||||
|
||||
A: No, these features are only available with the snapshot API. |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: How can I improve takePictureSnapshot() quality? |
||||
|
||||
A: The picture quality can be controlled in two ways: |
||||
- By [changing the snapshot size](../docs/snapshot-size) |
||||
- By [enabling metering](../docs/metering#picture-metering). |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: How can I improve takeVideoSnapshot() quality? |
||||
|
||||
A: The video quality can be controlled as follows: |
||||
- By changing the [snapshot size](../docs/snapshot-size) |
||||
- By changing the [snapshot framerate](../docs/controls#cameraPreviewFrameRate) (carefully: high values can cause dark preview) |
||||
- By changing the [video bitrate](../docs/controls#cameraVideoBitRate) |
||||
- By changing the [audio bitrate](../docs/controls#cameraAudioBitRate) |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: How can I reduce the picture size? |
||||
|
||||
A: The only control here is the picture size. |
||||
- When using `takePicture()`, change the [capture size](../docs/capture-size) |
||||
- When using `takePictureSnapshot()`, change the [snapshot size](../docs/snapshot-size) |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: How can I reduce the video size? |
||||
|
||||
A: By using video controls, for instance: |
||||
- Change the [video bitrate](../docs/controls#cameraVideoBitRate) |
||||
- Change the [audio bitrate](../docs/controls#cameraAudioBitRate) |
||||
- When using `takeVideo()`, change the [capture size](../docs/capture-size) |
||||
- When using `takeVideoSnapshot()`, change the [snapshot size](../docs/snapshot-size) |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: Why is my preview / snapshot dark? |
||||
|
||||
A: This is often caused by bad [framerate](../docs/controls#cameraPreviewFrameRate). Try using |
||||
a lower value, so that there's more time for frame exposure. |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: I have found a bug with Camera1, can you fix it? |
||||
|
||||
A: No, we will not address Camera1 bugs anymore - development is focused on Camera2. However, if you find a solution, |
||||
feel free to open a GitHub issue or pull requests to discuss. |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: I have found a bug with my device XYZ, can you fix it? |
||||
|
||||
A: No. Unless it's a device that we physically own, there is very little chance that a device-specific issues |
||||
can be solved by the maintainers. We encourage you to investigate on your own and get back to us |
||||
with a clear understanding of the problem and the solution. |
||||
|
||||
##### Q: Why don't you review / comment on my GitHub issue? |
||||
|
||||
A: Either because the issue did not respect the provided template, or because I don't have time. |
||||
If you are sure about the template, you can get private support by [sponsoring the project](../extra/donate). |
