You can see the orientation, though not always immediately obvious, through the Icons/UI orientation. But I think we should have additional toggleable UI elements for many things that are important to many users, but not all. For your use case: 1. Prior to recording: A lock button for locking the orientation prior to shooting 2. During recording: A rotate left right by 90 degrees icon 3. During recording: A rotate by 180 degrees icon 4. During recording: [Maybe] A flip horizontally icon?
(Happens with latest sourceforge apk as well as the Play store release) Oh, and thank you for this wonderful app. :)
I just tested with the latest sourceforge release and the same behavior is present (no exif data stored for established focal length).
(Play store OpenCamera release with a OnePlus 6)
Exposure lock is reset (to off) when returning from photo view
EXIF:Used focal length not storage in Exif data
On my Oneplus 6 I noticed neither OpenCamera nor the OS's camera store the zoom level (or any indication of it that I can see). The Exif tags for this, I believe, would be related to either digital or optical zoom, and possibly crop factor. So far I've found some potential candidates (but I don't know how any of this works): 0xc61e DefaultScale rational64u[2]! SubIFD 0xa404 DigitalZoomRatio rational64u ExifIFD 0xc61f DefaultCropOrigin int32u[2]! SubIFD 0xc620 DefaultCropSize int32u[2]! SubIFD Other...
Okay, that took a long time to figure out. The problem was my system gradle was 4.4.1. (Debian doesn't provide a newer one in the Stable release nor its backports.. yet). I installed my own gradle and freeplane built.
