    The only reason I had to install this app is so that my Lav mic will work with video. It does not work with Samsung Galaxy phones for whatever stupid reason.
    The mic works fine with Open Camera but now a bigger problem has arisen - as soon as I press Record for video, the screen goes about 50% darker than the scene is. This has happened on both Samsung phones that I use for video.
    I scoured the internet for days and cannot find a solution to this. I've tried changing every setting I can find in regard to video, exposure, and NOTHING makes a difference. Incredibly frustrating. Photos are fine, but no video.
    I did a test and made a short video using my Samsung camera, then a video with Open Camera. The difference is literally like night and day, except the audio sucks with the Samsung camera....
    I cannot use this app for video without being able to adjust the brightness/exposure - HOW CAN THIS BE ACCOMPLISHED???

    Something similar happened to me, but only with manual options while the automatic works.
