Posted on by lkitambi

One of the users of the power app I developed is having trouble with capturing photos. He's stuck on the front-facing camera (selfie mode) and can't switch to the back camera to capture photos. He tried restarting the app a couple of times, but the issue persists. Other users are not having this issue. How can he switch the camera around?

Hi @lkitambi ,

A Camera Control has a setting called Camera that defaults to 0, which is generally the rear camera. You can set up a Variable to either 0 or 1 and make this the Camera Setting with a Default of 0. Changing it to 1 should initiate the front camera.

I verified that all of my over 90 screens with camera controls are configured for the rear camera (0), which is the one he wants to use (i.e., the settings are correct).
