#1277 App is very slow at opening on Nokia G42 5G
at the office we use some Nokia G42 phones on android 15, since about na week I get my coworkers at my desk having trouble with the open camera app. it takes between 10-20 seconds to start the camera after clicking the app icon and very often throws an error message saying the app is not responding, then it starts the camera but will keep throwing the error message while using the app.
After tinkering around i found that switching back to the original camera API solved the problem. I am now in the process of testing whether all features still work as we use the custom EXIF tags to automate sending the pictures to the folder of a customer.
Is there any benefit using camera API2 of the original API?

Thanks for the info - I've identified an issue that seems to match this description, affecting a small number of devices (including Nokia G42 5G), I'll try to fix for the next version.
If in Open Camera you go to Settings/About, can you let me know please what it lists for "Device model"? (I wasn't sure if this is "Nokia G42 5G", or some other device model/code.)
Camera2 API offers extra features like manual controls (and on some devices at least may be faster at taking photos), but original API ought to be fine for taking photos, and supports the custom Exif tags, so seems sensible to use as a workaround in the meantime.
