Front facing Camera result very dim

[jaydangar]

@Diolor , @dmitry-zaitsev Hello there, first of of i want to give a big thumbs up for this great library that u guys are building. I am not criticizing, but front facing camera after setting exposure to highest level remains dim. I don't know if this is only in my camera or any other camera is facing the same. FYI, i am using Moto g5 plus and in built camera app can make picture really very bright. Please have a look at it as well.

for proof i am attaching following photographs taken from front facing camera with your library as well as with default camera app.

This is from the Fotoapparat Library. I have set the Exposure level to highest but still it doesnot show any difference.

Hi @jaydangar , thanks for reporting this.

Could you please help us with the following:

• Show us how you are initializing Fotoapparat instance.
• Share an actual photo. It appears that you attached a screenshot, not the photo.

@dmitry-zaitsev , yes i can. this is how i am doing it. I have made the exposure level to highest still not able to get desired result.
