Is it possible to control the flip camera angle without opening the camera app? - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

It seems I can only control the flip camera angle when I am using the camera app. Is it possible to control that in a 3rd party app or home screen? Thanks.

[Q] Lens Blur click to select focus vs default

I am playing with the new Lens Blur feature of the new Google Camera. I find the default focus and blur setting, to be quite good, and this setting, it seems that it can't be reproduced once I click to select the area I want to manually focus?
So I used the Lens Blur on my son, in the attached picture, the bottom is the default that Google gives me after processing of the picture. So I tried to click on my son's face to see if that changes anything, and to my surprise, it actually made the face more blur-er. I have tried clicking on his body and hands, but I can't seem to get the effect of the default picture.
Both the pictures are from screenshot capture on my phone itself, as I can't figure out how to make a copy of the photo and adjust the lens blur separately.
what happens when you reduce the blur effect to essentially nothing? (sliding the bar all the way to the left)

Thanks for the tip! I slide the bar to the left, and the face is still blurry, so now I am suspecting its the preview window.
I did a save after I click to focus his face. And save it. It seems pretty close to the default one after that.

Changing Gesture Activated Camera App?

Is there any way to change the camera app which is launched when the circle gesture is drawn on the screen while the phone is in sleep mode? Mine just goes straight to the stock Cyanogen camera app, i want to change it to Camera FV-5. Does anyone know how to do this?
Go to apps, all apps, then go to camera and clear defaults. Then lock screen and draw your circle and tell it which one to choose.
Can't say it will work with any camera app but I have the option between the three that I have installed on which one launches when I draw circle

Torch Lockscreen Widget for Flash-less Phone?

I was looking for a torch app that could be added to the lockscreen with just plain white color so that phones without flash could use the screen as torch light right at the lockscreen.
I am a new Z Ultra user and the phone without a flash was the biggest inconvenience. Using the big screen as torch was the next best thing, but I have to unlock the phone and open an app to turn on the light.
So what if there's a widget that does nothing but being a white screen.
Was this idea possible?
Its not possible, because camera is on backside and while taking photo you would be facing lock screen, so light would come on your face and not on the object you want to take photo of.

Camera Switching Idea

I'm not sure how possible it is to have this implimented, but when using a third party app such as Instagram or Snapchat, you're limited to the main sensor.
When the camera is active in an app, what if you could use the 3 state alert slider to change the cameras depending on the position?
Bottom, wide angle, middle main sensor and top telephoto. A sort of zoom control.
If your camera2api is exposed, you can access all of those camera on third party app
Only LG does this
I like the idea of being able to switch between cameras in third-party apps, but not so much a fan of how you would want it to happen.
Alert slider is pretty stiff so for me it would be annoying to have to physically move it every time I wanted to switch cameras.
Also, what would happen with sound modes? If the slider is in the middle position, would you end up in vibrate mode when you leave the app?
I'd rather have either on-screen options like the stock camera does, or some kind of on-screen gesture(s) in the viewfinder.
Just my two cents!
