    Hi, I'm using a Motorola Moto G 2nd with Marshmallow. my sd card is set to internal. when i take a picture with open Camera, the pp replies "failed to save photo".
    I can't find settigs to setthe default picture folder. My SD card has a folder DCIM.
    any idea?
    thank you very much

    You can change the folder via Settings/More camera controls/Save location. Maybe try unticking "Use Storage Access Framework" and then resetting the save location. Default is usually something like /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/OpenCamera. If you can't find it, maybe try Settings/Reset settings to reset everything to default.

      Same problem here. Using a Moto G 3rd gen with Android 6.0 My SDcard is also set to internal. And I get the "failed to save photo" error every time. No matter what I select as default storage folder, the app won't save photos.

      NEVER MIND - I rebooted phone and app is saving photos now.

    Same problem here with Moto G4 and SD card set to internal. Happened on Android 6 and is now also happening on Android 7. After reboot camera will save pics for a while but after a day or so it is again "failed to save photo". The folder is /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/OpenCamera on the SD card.

    I get this too.
    Moto G 4G (Peregrine)
    e.foundation ROM (Android 7.1)
    OpenCamera v1.47.3 Code: 74
    Package: foundation.e.camera
    Android API version 25

    No matter what I try (enable or disable storage access framework) I get failed to save photo

    Hi everyone!

    I had the same problem. I fixed it this way:
    Go to Open Camera -> Settings ->Mor Camera controls -> Save Location -> Set the Location (I choosed DCIM/Open Camera).

    That's it!
