    Hi,

    I just installed Open Camera on my new Pixel 7 and I can't select multiple back cameras. I read the user manual saying:

    Switch Camera iconSwitch camera - Switches between front and back camera (if your device has both front and back cameras). If your device has more than one front and/or back camera, then this will switch between the first front and back camera.

    Switch multi-camera iconSwitch multi-camera icon - This icon only shows on devices with more than one front and/or back cameras, and allows you to switch between those cameras. For example, a device might have two back cameras, one standard and one ultra-wide, this icon will switch between the standard and ultra-wide camera. If Settings/On screen GUI/"Multiple cameras icon" is disabled, then this icon will not show; instead the "Switch camera" icon can by used to cycle through all the cameras. Note that some devices do not expose the multiple cameras explicitly, but instead will automatically switch cameras as required when zooming in or out (requires Camera2 API). Note that some other devices do not allow third party applications to access their multiple cameras at all, in which case Open Camera isn't able to use them.

    I can't find the "On screen GUI/"Multiple cameras icon"", it doesn't appear in settings. So I cannot switch between multiple cameras.

    Thank you for any help.

    Different cameras are supported on Pixels by zooming - so just zoom out (using the zoom slider or pinch zoom) and it'll switch to ultra wide; zoom in and it'll switch to telephoto when required.

      Oh! Ok, that simple... Sorry for that "stupid" question and thank you. I was expecting a button to switch cameras...
