Research direction

The issue names no files, so begin by finding where the Kotlin Android app handles tap-to-focus on the camera preview, then check how exposure is set in that path. Done means tapping the screen also shows an exposure slider that brightens or darkens the preview and the captured photo. The issue has no comments or maintainer direction yet, so confirm the intended slider behaviour with maintainers before building it.

Feature description

In normal camera apps when we click to focus the camera there is also a slider that adjust exposure. This feature should be added to this app.

Why do you want this feature?

Can't click good high intensity light photos (don't know the exact name, nor I'm a pro) such as sky portraits (sun just blinds the lens reducing the clouds details and godrays. Also can't click good low light photos.
