Some phones (like LG G5) have two rear cameras (regular and wide-lens) and in the native camera app one can select which one is used. Does Open Camera support dual rear cameras?

I don't know I'm afraid - in theory the switch camera button should switch between all available cameras that the device exposes to 3rd party apps, but you'd have to try it to be sure. (Sometimes OEMs unfortunately don't expose the more obscure/speciality/advanced features to 3rd party apps; or maybe they do here, but I haven't tested Open Camera in such a situation, only with the regular front/back cameras.)

hey mark - does this mean Open Camera cycles through all /dev/video* devices?
or is there some other api that is used to detect what cams to toggle between?
background is i would like to connect a external usb webcam (UVC compatible of course) with an adapter cable and use the phone as a 'viewfinder' ;-)

Open Camera uses the Android camera APIs to get the available cameras: Camera.getNumberOfCameras() or CameraManager.getCameraIdList().
I'm not sure if external USB cameras typically make themselves available under the standard camera APIs - a quick Google suggests this is a different API, unfortunately.

Does anybody know why Open Camera doesn't record 4k video even though there is 4k option. It records 1080p even when you set it to 4k. Anybody knows something about that?
