Possible to keep IR enabled to use the front camera in the dark? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I was wondering, if it's possible to keep the IR enabled so it's possible to use the front camera in the dark?
When unlocking the phone, I noticed that the IR works good as a night vision.
It would be great to have a video conversation with low/no light using Skype.

good question..

bump, no one?

LED on while focusing?

Is there any camera app that uses the LED light while placing the focus? It's near impossible to get a sharp picture in low-light with my Desire HD.
There are ways to cut through this, though. I activate Tesla LED and keep it activated while opening my camera and sometimes and thus, use it while focusing. This is though not a sustainable solution; I would like a camera app that uses the LED in focus processing by default.
Is there one?

Switch cameras while recording video?

wouldnt it be really awesome to be able to switch from the rear camera to the front camera/vice versa while recording? or to be able to record on both at the same time.

Looking for device with front camera that good in low light conditions.

I work in ride-share and need a concealed video registrator so i am using my phone, however night quality is terrible when lights are off in the car, all i see is street lights.
Could you give me few android phone models that have good low light performance for front camera (face camera).
Optional i'd like to have front camera record horizontally wide video when phone is in vertical position (video orientation, 90 degree opposite to the screen orientation).

Does recording from front and back camera work simultaneously?

It technically should have the hardware but software support is very finicky among manufacturers.
Can someone help me test with this app? You should be able to see both front and rear views.

Toggling front and rear camera while recording

Hi, I have seen some people recording video clips with other phones where you can switch between front and back cameras without stopping recording, i cant find this feature on the Xperia 5 ii. Is there a way to enable this on the stock camera app ?
