Take photo - extra options. Possible plugin

May I suggest a new plugin ("AutoCamera")to control all camera options. Like the ability to specify the ISO and/or picture quality settings when taking photos. It has also been suggested that EXIF data be able to be extracted as well. Thanks

Just got back into automating stuff with tasker after a couple years hiatus, and the camera limitations are bugging me too. It would be especially useful to be able to just set a zoom level for the camera, since that would be an easy way to cut out any problematic light sources or items that mess up either the lighting of the photo (since the ISO can't be controlled) or occasionally cause the camera to focus 5 cm away (since the focus point can't be controlled) instead of 5 meters, where it's supposed to. ;) I couldn't find any third party plugins that would work either.

There is Quick Video Recorder

This can both take photos and videos and has in app options for Camera2API and other options. Tasker can easily call upon it by way of launch-able activities and intents. Have used this app religiously since Oreo days. Pre 10 it can record video screen off, too. Can work in the background whilst using other apps without interference, too.

Hi, just checking if this one has been moved up the queue. The iso and picture quality settings could be added to the existing -media>take photo option. :) I use tasker to control timelapses and this will make a massive difference. I'm willing to pay a couple of hundred $AUD hard cash for the upgrade.

Only 6 people voted for it so far unfortunately... That means it's not that up high on the priority list, sorry!
