#971 green tint to photos when using manual ISO and shutter speed
the title speaks for itself really. i noticed an unusual green tint to my photos today. this happened after i adjusted the white balance. what i see on the screen is OK but the saved photo looks very green. and it doesnt make a difference if i lock the white balance or not. i noticed that when i set the iso and shutter to auto, the issue goes away. idk why this is happening and its extremely frustrating. please help :)

This happens with my Samsung Galaxy M21 running Android 12 Lineage GSI as well, when used with HDR enabled.
Happens on version 1.50.1 from Fdroid, Version 1.49.2 Doesnt have this issue. Green tint occurs while using HDR or Manual ISO.
Having this same issue with Pixel 5a on 1.50.1. Using Camera2 API
Since Version 1.50.1 I get green pictures too, but only using HDR mode, in all other modes everything is ok. (with Samsung S7, SM-G930F)
same phenomenon in v1.50.1 using a Oneplus 7T HD1900. Happens in manual ISO mode on SINGLE SHOT. The phenomenon does not occur in BURST MODE.
This also happens for me when using HDR mode (Samsung A320FL, rooted, stock rom).
HDR photos also have green tint on my Samsung Galaxy Fold5. The superb HDR functionality of open camera was the reason to use it on my old Galaxy S8 Plus. But now, on Fold5, green tint of HDR images.
Same issue for me on Galaxy A5 (2017).
I'm not sure if this setting somehow got turned on by changing another setting, or if an update turned it on, but if you go into the program, click on SETTINGS, and at the very top there's an option for face detection. Turn this option OFF fixed the issue for me.
Next version should have a fix for green tints with HDR/expo (at least for Samsung Qualcomm devices when using face detection).
Unfortunately even with this fix, it seems that HDR/expo doesn't really work properly anymore on Samsung devices, in that the exposures don't come out correctly. Will have to see if I can find a workaround.
