#1000 FP4 Camera not making foto while picture is moving

[Steffen J]

First of all - thank you Mark for making this good foto app!
(I want to support you with a onetimedonation, if you would send me a paypal link, not patroning)

Here is my problem ony my fairphone 4:
Camera can not make any photos, if there are not enough fix (not moving) points. For example, even if you turn slowly around and try to make a foto, focusing works, screenpicture is good, but it still never make a picture, als long as you (slowly) move. My girlfriend has the same FP4 with normal google, the camera just make the normal photo after 1 second.

Another example: ride a bike and try to make a photo from your side. You see the white boarders from the app - trying to make a foto - but as long as you move no photo will be saved. Stopp moving - photo is made.

Is there a possibility to force make photo now?

I have a similar problem with Pixel 6 Pro and Interval Mode: I have set it to, say 0.5 s or 1s, but the actual delay between pictures varies, usually the more stable I hold it (less vibrations, less movements), the closer the interval comes to the pre-set value. This happens also with infinite focus.

The next version of Open Camera will have a timeout for failing to focus of 1s, which hopefully should help here. (In some cases, the camera driver seems to spend ages saying it's focusing, even if the picture is in focus.)

Thank you very much!
In same cases this may be too less time to focus, but you can make a 2. picture. Another idea would be to check, is focus NOT changing for 1 second and than making the foto, or this the actual setting?
