Describe the bug When in settings, the camera is still on (a camera indicator shown in status bar). I think that is quite power consuming, my phone get warm after I browse through settings.

thats correct and the expected behavior. settings, camera ui and gallery are fragments attached to pager adapter wich overlay the preview. normaly you dont spend much time on settings and inbuild gallery.

myself shot most time stars. when a shot is done i can check it directly while the camera starts the next capture (phone is remote controlled) thats the main reason why it is as it is.

your phone should get warm everywhere. if you are using the preview postprocessing it may caused by that. the frame processing need some ressources^^

I guess that's the cue for me to close the issue :)

I have seen other projects that the program behavior adapts to the personal preferences of the dev, and I respect that. Only that way, fewer user will like and then use the app, no offense meant.

I have the preview postprocessing disabled.

I guess using the camera and showing the preview alone consumes quite some power, thus the heating. So my point is: fewer power consumption when we are not seeing the preview.

No^^ a setting could get added to add that behavior. but no idea when it happen. todo list is long.

No worry^^ For me this is a hobby. working on it when im motivated.
